Open ecosystem (Linux, hardware) + gaming = well done Valve, sounds good, I like it!

That's one hell of a smart idea if they can pull it off. As an OS, it can run on a VM or dedicated hardware, which gives us users the greatest flexibility. Well played!

So the Streaming functionality will be in both SteamOS and the normal Steam client? For both PC and Mac?

There might be a few interesting ways to utilize that. :)
