    "ASP.NET Machine Account is created when the [.net] 1.1
     is installed onto a Windows XP machine."

    "If one works with asp.net development work then he/she
     must keep that account, otherwise ASP.net projects will
     no longer function correctly."  [Oh,my]

It's something most people won't be using.
