By default, mine show Microsoft for the user name and Microsoft for the organization and I don't get a change to set these during installation. This could be due to the fact I am using the MSDN version. So who cares if it shows Microsoft? I do! When you create a new project, your AssemblyInfo file pulls in this information and I always have to change it for my published applications.
Here is a reference to where you change this at:

I have the 64 bit version of Windows 7, so I followed those instructions. Worked great. It's basically 2 registry settings and then running devenv.exe /setup from the command prompt (make sure you run as an administrator!)
On a x86 bit (32 bit OS) computer follow the below path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Registration\UserName
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization
On a x64 bit (64 bit OS) computer follow the below path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Registration\UserName
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization
Then to fix the splash screen:
On a x86 bit (32 bit OS) computer follow the below path:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
On a x64 bit (64 bit OS) computer follow the below path:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
Hope that helps somebody.
