Which is also well documented and trivially rotatable by anyone with root on the machine. How do you rotate the MS identifier?

Yes, but almost nobody does that or complains about it at all, even though applications may have been silently phoning it home for many years now.

sounds like you can rotate it, but it doesn't really matter because the registration/rotation process sends a bunch of static information to microsoft, which means they can re-correlate the the old id back to the new id.
Surely the sending of the GDID to MS can be blocked?
Which applications do this?
