I expect to see people selling PC's as Linux gamestations of the back of this. Opertunities for a cheap Linux box already setup with steam to pull down games are now alot more tempting that I'd bet you will see kickstarter projects before the year is out.

Now the real question is, will this steam distribution system handle non X86 chips, and if so will there be limitation on the games selections above and beyond processing ability to run the game. If they can crack that then, I will be truely impressed and see more momentum than you. But it certainly will add momentum, the indirect effect on stabalising and opening up graphics drivers has been one of the greatest side effects of this port of steam onto linux than steam itself.

Be ineteresting how things are a year from now, I smell some roses; But we shall see.
