This particular test fails because the Windows UUID creation function does a
one-way hash on the UUID for security reasons (e.g., to not openly encode
the MAC address). The test is somewhat meaningless in this situation.

There is only a single place where COM initialization happens. I removed all
the other initializations. It may be that this is just the right thing to do
for external libs but I am not certain about this.
