What Do You Name Your Computer In Windows?
When setting up a new computer, you are prompted in Windows to give it a name.

What is the purpose of this?

Does it make any difference what name you use? Is the Window's suggestion of a name like "Joe's computer" better or worse that a number? How about something really unusual like one I saw once, something like 6X7vk159uMq-73lkV?

Is this a security or privacy issue?
