Does WordPress use Google Analytics?

Posted on August 21, 2012 by

While skimming the source code for my WordPress.com hosted site (millersam.com) I found that there are some Google Analytics lines included in the code.

<script type="text/javascript"> 
 window.google_analytics_uacct = "UA-52447-2"; 
</script>

Does this mean WordPress uses Google Analytics as the backbone of their own analytical program? WordPress support clearly states that users cannot setup Google Analytics on their WordPress.com sites. Is that because they already have a Google Analytics ID assigned to our accounts?

Hopefully someone can help answer these questions!
