Change Registered information in Windows
If you are interested in changing what name/manufacturer your version of Windows is registered under, you can do this with a very simple registry change. This applies to all Windows versions although I cannot verify if it is the same on Win7 as I do not have a Win7 box yet. 
To change the registered information follow the below steps:
- Open Regedit
- Navigate to the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
- Find the keys "Registered Owner" and "Registered Organization"
- Change the values to anything you like.
To access the system information where this information appears:
On Win XP - Hold the "Windows Key" and hit Pause/Break (Handy Hotkey)
On Vista - Click Start, and type WinVer in the search bar and hit enter.
