Re: 3 Steam Announcements

Hmm, but the argument aimed *at* consoles (or ipads, iphones) and apple TV, is all about how it is a closed system. Not that it is taking over your PC.

Now steam is simply copying their closed system (that can live on a PC) to their own box. If this is accepted with open arms while I can see someone not liking a company I don't see that the oft quoted reasons that it is a closed system holds any water [if they embrace the steam box].

The product is being branded as operating system, so it's going to be hard to say if this going to be a totally locked down dumb terminal or if can be installed on any PC, if it's the latter it will probably be worth investigating.
