It's not a "problem;" it's by design. You've installed an evaluation
copy of the Service Pack, and you desktop has been labeled accordingly.
When you eventually replace the Release Candidate with the final
version of SP1, the branding should go away.

V1.0 = Alpha Release
V2.0 = Beta Release
V3.0 = We Got it Right (almost)
V3.1 = OK now it works
