Most of the Computers i have seen a few years ago, they would always have that Logo, But on mines, it Does Not...





does yours have the Windows XP Logo??Why doesn't My Computer Cases Has That Windows XP Logo on the Front??
Mine does, but it is an office machine.





The certified for XP logo etc normally comes when the PC is bundled with the Operating System (like XP!)





But if the case is just bought or customised then the logo won't be there - it's ok because it won't affect the compatability!Why doesn't My Computer Cases Has That Windows XP Logo on the Front??
Because this sticker is put on OEM equipment. Your case is aftermarket, so it doesn't have the sticker.





OEMs that sell equipment with Windows preloaded are under contract with Microsoft to apply that sticker.





The sticker is actually a marketing tool, believe it or not. It's purpose is to make unsuspecting users think the hardware is literally ';designed for'; Windows.... therefore running anything else but Windows would destroy it.





Like how a car is ';designed'; to run on gasoline, putting anything but gasoline (like diesel) would outright ruin the car. This is how Microsoft wants you to feel about your computer ';designed'; to run on Microsoft software.





Also, next time you get an ad-catalog in the mail from a PC manufacturer, take a good look at it. Almost every page has a little message: ';[manufacturer] recommends Windows XP Home Premium';. Same color, same size, same font, same typeset. This is another contract obligation set by Microsoft.





Pretty sneaky, huh? It's a Microsoft marketing strategy called FUD, or Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. Google ';FUD'; to learn more.
