  They do. Apple just uses silkscreen that contrasts less with the surface its applied to. As for the stupid windows sticker, Apple needs not to worry about that :p

  The regulations are completely hated by the designers making desktops and laptops... usually they design the front and rear bezels anticipating the Windows stickers, but they always look terrible. Seems like a clever way to keep it all on-board for the licensing and not distract from the design

  Is anyone really going to notice this?
  
  It's not the best solution, but I doubt it will be that big of a deal. My laptop puts that Windows sticker on the bottom, and it got worn out very quickly and is now impossible to read. This little drawer enables it to actually serve its purpose. It's not HP who is doing this, it's Microsoft.
  
  Don't worry though, it won't be on the Palm Pad :-P

  Unfortunately it's a legal limitation. They have three choices: vandalize the exterior of the device with this garbage, hide it in some way that technically meets the licensing requirements, or get sued for violation.
  
  Dell is trying to skirt the rules without feeling the wrath. Honestly I think this sort of thing is what it's going to take to get the rules changed. It's so obviously stupid that people will have to question what's going on.

  What the hell is Alt-Tab-Delete? Did you mean Control-Alt-Delete as in "reboot"?
