But in a preloaded/locked-down situation where the user doesn't have full, or any, control on the software installed on the machine the requirements might be different: - the logo would likely not be the stock distributor's one, but one identifying the organization providing that leased/temporary service to the user. I can think of a number of reasons related to billing/support/accountability as of why this makes a lot more sense than in the "personal use" case. - it's still unclear to me the benefit to the user and/or the distributor in showing a logo in that scenario. For example, if the machine has a corporate lockdown, that fact alone might discourage users trying to install the same OS on another personal machine. This is in my opinion related to the question I was asking in the second part of my above previous message.
