I tried pulling the glue with the sticker itself and it did work for
the Intel Inside sticker but the Microsoft one really loves that nice
rubberized surface. Its consistency is also way past the 'lift it'
stage.
I'll have to resort to either isopropil(sp?) alcool, lighter gas
(yes that was one suggestiong I got) or the oily compound from the
previous answer. Now, who's a chemist?
