That was pretty much my reaction as well when I heard they were doing that. What they did was never mention the borg by name, like the Enterprise episode with the Ferengi if you saw that one. We the viewers know who they were, but the people in the episode don't.

What it's supposed to be is the Borg Sphere that went back in time in the Star Trek First Contact movie didn't actually disintigrate in space like we thought, but part of it stayed together long enough to crash land at one of the polar regions. There buried in the ice it laid dormant until discovered by scientists during the time on earth when Archer's Enterprise was making it's voyage.

One of the scientists get's assimilated and takes off in a warp capable ship and leaves earth. Presumably to return to the Delta quadrant and tell the current Borg to come and assimilate the pre-federation earth, although we don't really know that. Archer is ordered to intercept the ship and...ah, I'll leave it at that so you still have some suprise if you happen to catch it in reruns.
