search implications (Score:1)

I find myself holding my nose and using "OSX" in some cases because it's more readily searchable. Some crap mailing list search engines can't/don't index anything with fewer than three characters, so "Mac OS X" gets truncated to "Mac", which usually isn't specific enough.

I was pleased to spot "Mac OS" in O'Reilly's style guide [oreilly.com], after seeing it the wrong way in several books over the years. "MacOS" looks like a cereal brand.
