I don't have Windows any more, I hate Windows, and I don't want to be reminded of it, thus, I want that shiny sticker, which is so painfully obvious, GONE. Any (non-dangerous) suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm sure MS will think of a way to prevent people from "hacking" their laptops this way (removeing the sticker) In near future I'm sure you'll find MS stickers welded to the laptops, hard linked to the cpu to make it blow up at removal, combined ms sticcker and warranty void stickers or simply laptops shaped like the MS logo.

This made me think of a funny article I read recently.
