so what happens when (if) you sell the laptop, you've taken the COA from the bottom, and thus taken the legal 'documentation' for the person who buys it to install the version of Windows that was included. You can't keep the key, because it's not YOURS, it's belongs with the computer it came with (especially OEM copies.)

I go so far as to cover up the logos on my TV and other components in my entertainment rack. Seriously I think it makes the whole setup look less "cheap".
My SLR is all covered up with electrical tape as well. Kinda my way of saying "I make my own brand, and I don't piggy back off the marketeers"

I've never gotten any with my OEM copies. I thought they only came with branded computers and laptops...

Sorry, computers aren't lego and don't need ugly stickers stapled everywhere.

Though most people won't mind this 'sticker' at all :lol: :

the its not yours part of what you said made me laugh. You must be of the type of person that doesnt do anything illegal (like software pirate). I havent sold any laptops or desktops since I started buying them. They either become gutted when they die or handed down the family or get thrown out in the trash after a serious beating with a sledge hammer.
