What I found interesting was that there are several non-GUID keys in
there - not surprisingly some from MS<g> See:

Well, they indeed are the masters of disaster :-) Microsoft doesn't always
follow their own rules <g>.

I really enjoyed their Visual Studio 2012 (RTM) for Windows 8 installation.
They failed to get it to work properly. Rules are only for those who follow
them <g>
