That's a Resource ID most likely.
If you do not want an auto-generated resource ID, you can set one in your
account preferences.
I prefer a static resource ID myself so I can set one as work, another for
laptop, home or whatever. Not meant to be a replacement for a status
message, but certainly helpful to know which resource/session is related to
what device.

As to why your resource ID is so long, I don't know. I'm used to seeing
them be say maybe 10 characters or so.
What XMPP/Jabber server are you using?

That's probably just the way the client shows it.
Is the Windows user also using Pidgin as their XMPP client? Any version
difference and so forth?
