While this is true in your case , it depends on the machine being used etc.
GUIDs are created using a complicated algorithm which take several factors
into consideration. Sometimes this results in consecutive UUID (Guids) being
1 apart, other times it doesn't. It depends on the resource etc. etc.
For example if the GUID function drops its counter it has to start again at
a point that is definitely past the last one it generated.
