The Steam Website announces that this summer users will see the largest update to the Steam platform since the launch of Valve's online service over three years ago. Here's a bit:

June 20, 2007 -- This summer Valve will ship a major update to its online gaming platform Steam, introducing an advanced set of community features to more than 13 million gamers around the world.

Beginning in July, Steam users can set up their own personal Steam pages and profiles, create and join groups, schedule games with friends, review who they've played with, see how well everyone played, chat with groups, chat via voice, and more. These new community services and features can be used with all Steam games, which include new releases and classic titles from leading publishers and independent developers.

Free of charge, the new community features will be accessible via the Steam desktop client and via the web.

For comparisons sake, I opened IE, which would likely be the only officially supported browser. About 25MB of RAM there, sitting on a blank page. Any particular reason why you didn't mention the amount of RAM used when IE is minimized like you did with steam?
