Default How to get rid of Name displayed in meeting request

I just switched to Office 2007 (from 2003) and noticed that all my meeting
requests now display my name on them on my calendar. It looks like this:
8:30am Meeting @ Office; Victor; I want to turn this feature off as it is
just extra information taking up space on my calendar. Is there a way to
turn this off?

I'm very serious and I have no idea why they thought people wanted it as it
is the source of major complaints - right behind calendar printing.

Seriously? I'm stuck looking at my name all over my calendar? I like to
keep it as streamlined as possible and this is really distracting. I wish
there was at least an option to turn this 'feature' off.

Thanks for letting me know - this is one of those things that I wonder how
it got past a user group test...or did the user group test get skipped?
Thanks again for your help. Do you have the link handy where we let
Microsoft know that we would like to see a change to something like this?

see http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vista_supoffnew for support
information - you can open a support incident for your complaint. while I
will mention it to them, opening an incident has the best chance of getting
it fixed - if enough people complain.
