Has anyone noticed the Microsoft Windows product key sticker on the bottom of T60 has an unsual wear pattern?

It looks like someone took a sanding disk to the center of the sticker after it is applied to the T60, there is a depression worn right through the sticker and you can see the black plastic base through this opening on the sticker.

I've seen this on 3 different T60 now, and the only theory I can think of is to prevent someone from easily lift the sticker off one T60 and put it on another T60.

The plot thickens.............

My Dell has the same thing.

They started scratching the area off to show that it's genuine.

how do you guys protect the sticker? Put a piece of tape over it?

On my T41p the sticker has a hole rubbed into it. It's also got some protective coating on it.

My machine is showing it's age. My COA sticker is just fine. It is a bit wrinkly from having been moved from the original base to a replacement base, but otherwise it shows no signs of wear 3 and a half years later. ... JDH
