 There are many evil software where developer collect PC info while sending
 information such as crash report to developer's server.

 If Tor project define windows computername to X, and username to Y
 and many people followed it, the identifiable vector will be reduced.

 I suggest;

 Computername: PC
 Username: user

 What's your opinion?
