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.
