I checked again and it seems I confused that with the problems of the (String) GetHashCode implementation. Sorry for that.

I am not sure about this. I looked through the svn log for the commits to the Random class, and I can not find any reverted patches to the Random class. In fact, I found a commit that explicitly stated "Switch to Knuth results instead of Microsoft ones". Unless someone has some strong evidence and a regression report on the Random class, I see no problem with replacing our Random implementation with something better (provided the other issuelets have been resolved). But it seems to me that there is a very weak case for regressions in the Random class.
