Damn! I knew it... It was just a matter of time. 
The following shows the default values generated when creating a new project in Orcas (C#):

In VS2005 the default copyright depends on the name you give at install time, which in Vista is "Microsoft" by default (in XP the default value comes from the information provided during Windows setup but Vista doesn't have that anymore).
EDIT: Is this the VPC image? -

All your code are belong to us.

That's it. More specifically, it's the organisation.
I hate that they took away the ability to enter the registered name in setup for Windows Vista. It is really annoying changing it every time you install software that retrieves the values from the registry (For various reasons).
Worst part is, if you run the x64 versions, you have to change it twice (Regular and Wow6432Node). It's also not set to the name you use during the OOBE-esque experience. While the regular one is set, the Wow6432Node version isn't and if I remember correctly, it sits as name: "Windows User" company: "Microsoft Corporation".
While I know enough about the registry to change it for myself, you can't expect everyone to know how to do this, plus the dangers involved. -

Probably because you changed the name when installing Orcas, right? -

I am running Vista Ultimate Natively installed by the manufacturer (Dell) and using my C# Orcas dev environment, my default assembly information simply says COPYRIGHT @ 2007 nothing about Microsoft in that element anyways.

The only thing orcas install asked me for was my name.

If you stumbled and fell down, it doesn't mean yet, that you're going in the wrong direction.
Show us your "About Windows" screenshot from "winver".

Oooh, oooh, I know the reason!
You're using the VPC Image!
Naturally, Microsoft put themselves as the owner/installer of software, since they installed it before they imaged it. That's what gets generated in Orcas. -

BTW (and it took me this long to get the beta fired up and testing this in VPC with my meager 2 GB), you can change your registered owner / organization using regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOwner -

It's the VPC, yes... I didn't know that the thing is intelligent enough to take the Windows information - must be some stunning AI
Thanks for the info... I have "-" as my company on my laptop - that's why I didn't know that the thing is taken from Windows
