This may not be a big deal to most , but I think it's a really cool idea. Simply because I would buy one if someone did this.

If you go to the PCLinuxOS site you can down load the latest magazine. in the magazine there is an offer to replace the "Designed for Microsoft" logo on your laptop or desktop. you can purchase this PCLinuxOS sticker to cover it up I guess.

While I am not a PCLinuxOS user I think this is a cool idea if ubuntu users had something like this too. Personally I replaced windows with ubuntu so I am stick with that little sticker of course I do have some ubuntu stickers on the hood of my lappy but just thought this sounded cool...(and I do not have an artistic bone in my body or I would do it)

One of the loco teams recently had a bunch of case badges made up. Not sure if they have any left though.

A quick search here for "case badges" might find them.

The system76 ones aren't bad, but they're not metallic like most of the professional case badges. They are also (or at least were when I ordered mine) smaller than the Windows sticker so you can't just cover it up. The loco team badges mentioned above are much nicer in my humble opinion, but I don't know if there are any left.

Pictures here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MassachusettsTeam/Projects/AluminiumCaseBadges (in fact, the pictures from leftfb show both sets of sticker.)

The top thin plastic layer on the System76 ones also tends to peel off after a bit. There were a few hundred extras of the metallic ones when they got finished last week. I'm sure you could get one from one of the other LoCos too.

I remember that some Ubuntu user was trying to sell these stickers here on the forums for no profit.I guess he didn't do too well. :(
