Summary: System.Guid isn't guaranteed to be unique
The current algorithm dosn't have the MAC so System.Random is only seeded
with the current time.
We should generate GUID as defined in section 3.4 (pure random + some
marking bits).

+Joerg, I don't know if you have seen this one but it could affect
+you if you are running multiple servers and expect unique GUID.
