hell i know people that say LOL in public and other AOL acronyms they say in public. And they are serious, that is how some people laugh now in public is by saying LOL. And i just want to go all steven segal on them ><!

ell-oh-ell...oops, I mean lol (or do they say "lawl!" ?) :D

I say "brb" and "bbl" to some people in real life...it's just quicker and gets the point across quickly. "lol" is just going too far IMO.

But, I don't think it is common, especially not frequent, that a typical PC user speaks/types like a '1337 h4x02.'

Great -- send this thread with it!
You original post was quite rude, telling us to "shut-up", while the thread you posted a link to calmly stated that he/she was plainly sticking to OSX. (Makes no sense why WE should be the ones to shut-up, being that this IS NOT A WINDOWS SITE! DUH!!) So why should THAT be wastelanded as well as this one? It wasn't rude or snotty like yours. And really, if you don't like all the complaining about the fact that this site (MacRumors, emphasis on Mac) is getting inundated with WINDOWS posts then go to a WINDOWS site. 'Nuff said.

and since it's likely the store/dealer paid bill gate$ for that copy of windows, that could be seen by mac users as heresy

but if i saw os x on PCs, and it was a marketable thing here and now, and PC dealers and users all over the world had to buy os x from apple inc, that would be nice, also giving apple inc billions of dollars in revenue...better to have our os on their machines and have them pay for the right vs. the other way around like it is right now

now it would be cool if intel macs came with windows, as an option, preloaded for free ;) ... remember all those countless millions we gave microsoft for buying their microsoft office for macs over the years, so they can return the favor and give us free versions of windows for our relatively few intel macs on the market...but that won't happen though it would be nice

we can think that it will bring PC users to our machines and microsoft can think it will bring mac users to windows...but we all know where our hearts are
