If I install SQL Server using a certain Windows Login, does that login assume some sort of "sa" alias?
(I'm trying to explain the behaviour that when I login in to a server using the same username that I used when i installed the SQL Server instance, using trusted authentication, then use a database within which I haven't created any users, I seem to get full permissions, as if I had gone in as "sa")

You are probably a local administrator on the server. By default, local administrators have sysadmin access. This behavior can be removed though if you'd like.
