    Dell ftw lol!!11one

    It may be just me that thinks this but I feel this was a bad move by dell. I think they've just seen the lingo used and thought it was cool and not realised the 'true' meaning of the word.

    FTW = For the win

    But actually in the gaming community FTW, more often then not, its used in a sarcastic manner. So it sounds like "Yeah Dell FTW!! (whatever)"

    If you read the comments below the article it explains it.

    Can’t really say it matters. If you go by the old saying there is no such thing as bad publicity then Dell will be loving all this chit chat.

    I agree with Wikipedia, FTW means f*** the world, so I am currently drafting a letter of complaint, setting up an online petition and hiring the services of Jack Thompson for my multimillion dollar law suit.
