No.. no it's not.]]>Sep 5th 2010 7:25PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/05/why-companies-plaster-ugly-stickers-all-over-our-immaculate-lapt/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/05/why-companies-plaster-ugly-stickers-all-over-our-immaculate-lapt/
For software and hardware to get the "Compatible with Windows 7" logo they need to be submitted to Microsoft and meet Microsoft's testing requirements for compatibility. so the manufacturers are the ones trying to get Microsoft's logo on their product and not the other way around

Also, some people seem to like these stickers. The pic used in this article has a "Linux inside" sticker that was obviously added after the owner bought the laptop. A colleague of mine has a 'Powered by Ubuntu' and an 'Ubuntu Key' (the ubuntu circle of friends that goes over the windows key) stickers on his laptop ]]>Sep 5th 2010 7:44PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/05/why-companies-plaster-ugly-stickers-all-over-our-immaculate-lapt/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/05/why-companies-plaster-ugly-stickers-all-over-our-immaculate-lapt/http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd203105.aspx

Duh!
As for the stickers on computers mine fell on their own. I keep trying to glue them back for I want them to stay on the computer. ]]>Sep 7th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/05/why-companies-plaster-ugly-stickers-all-over-our-immaculate-lapt/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/05/why-companies-plaster-ugly-stickers-all-over-our-immaculate-lapt/You can remove the tag from a mattress after purchase.

No, that person would be an idiot, same as anyone who thinks that Microsoft makes laptops. Guess the regular tech writer was away for Labor Day and the article was farmed out overseas. I mean, good lord, even my mom knows Microsoft doesn't sell laptops and PC's. ]]>Sep 8th 2010 12:20AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/09/05/why-companies-plaster-ugly-stickers-all-over-our-immaculate-lapt/http://www.switched.com/2010/09/05/why-companies-plaster-ugly-stickers-all-over-our-immaculate-lapt/
Oh Roy, You are soooo wrong about everything you said!!

Of course Microsoft makes laptops!! and
AMD makes Apple Mackintosh Desktops,
Gateway makes those gizmos we connect to the internet with,
"Intel Inside" just means that the computer has built in smarts, bekuz thats where the CPU is, which is just short for what I see everyday after IBM , because that what it jus reminds me of when it keeps rebooting all the time!! I keep control of my ALT and DEL keys by removing them from the keyboard each night and putting them back on in the morning but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I even took it to the Greek Squad and payed $300 to exterminate all the bugs that they found inside, but I told them that I already sprayed the whole PC with a can of RAID, so all the bugs should be dead. I dunked it in Lysol to kill the viruses afterwords, too. I didn't see any worms at all, because I mixed the dewormer in with the Lysol. All the Greek Squad told me is that I need to buy some IOMEGA thing to backup my files, but I told them that I couldn't buy anything made by IOMEGA becuase I was a member of Lamb-duh, MOO, Lamb-duh. Geez, what a bunch of idiots!

Anyway Roy, you really need to ketchup to the rest of us, bekuz I'm gonna be a substitute tech riter too, when my inturnship is over and I can learn you all on the inturnet.
