== When Microsoft started using UUIDs ==

To help fill in the history for when Microsoft started using UUIDs (the "when" question is flagged in the article), I have a bit of information that might help someone search for the answer.

I attended a Microsoft conference at the Redmond campus in 1995 where a presenter gave information about UUIDs, how they are essentially unique, and that Microsoft was going to be using them.

That's not enough to put into the article, obviously, but maybe it'll help give a timeline if someone is researching this. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Chris uvic|Chris uvic]] ([[User talk:Chris uvic#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chris uvic|contribs]]) 18:20, 30 June 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

New Versions

There is a draft RFC which introduces versions 6, 7 and 8, as well as a form called MAX UUID.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format#section-3

I don't know if this proposal merits inclusion, or if we should wait until it is finalized.

ULID

Hi folks. As a heads-up, I created a page for universally unique lexicographically sortable identifier (ULID). – ClockworkSoul 17:35, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
