Windows 8.1 replaces Computer with This PC

The Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview reveals another minor change that will also be present in Windows 8.1. Microsoft decided to ditch the classic "Computer" naming for "This PC", making it easier to identify your local computer in a network/cloud environment.

Additionally, the Libraries feature is now disabled by default, but you can easily re-enable it by right clicking This PC and hitting the "Show libraries" option.
