  I know Exchange/Outlook, circa 2003 and earlier, had some kind of
failure mode if you changed the username and someone within the org
had sent them email before.  I forget the details.  Since we now have
a "never change the username" policy, I don't know if the issue still
exists, either.

  The username also shows up all over the registry, and I know older
versions of Windows (XP?  Definitely 2000.) did not use variables
everywhere they should.  I don't know if that's been improved or not,
for the same reason.
