I'm afraid that SteamOS is too late to really change the course of PC dynamics. While I understand why it didn't happen, this would have been a real game changer a decade ago.

I just want gaming free of Windows overhead. I was amazed at the difference in performance running an HTPC on an embedded Linux platform vs Windows, pretty surprising considering how prevalent hardware video acceleration is. The Windows box was considerably slower at everything from boot times to running skins to video plugins. I can only imagine the potential gains for gaming would be even better.

I am on hold until they add in ATI/AMD support for gfx. Looking forward to giving it a spin on my old Linux box though. Not really sure why, but the whole project just sounds fun to play around with. Reminds me of an earlier time in this hobby....

I'm tempted to throw an old HD in my system and install it. I've also got an old miniITX system with an NVIDIA ION that I could try it on.

That Steam OS story was cool. I'll be checking out the vids of it they'll be posting tomorrow.
