The TAP-Win32 MAC address is formed by taking 00:FF and concatenating the
first 32 bits of the device GUID, which for practical purposes, is random.

It's not possible right now to manually set the MAC, though it wouldn't be
terribly complicated to add this setting to the adapter advanced properties page.
