Out of the 102 games I own, only 5 of them can be installed on Mac so far.

Good enough for me though. Installing Torchlight, but Steam Cloud didn't transfer my PC characters over.

Disappointing to hear that Steam Cloud data isn't currently (won't be?) portable across all supported platforms.

Doesn't currently affect me as I use Steam games via Wine or on Windows directly, but I'm rather excited about the possibility of a native Linux implementation so I'm watching the Steam for Mac news closely.

From http://store.steampowered.com/news/3820/ : Win32 side support for Steam Play / Steam Cloud integration with upcoming Mac titles

It's coming to Mac, and I imagine that'll come to Linux in time too.

I've downloaded two demos so far, and for both of them, once they're downloaded it says 'not available for your platform at this time'. Pretty frustrating.

I went to the developers' pages and downloaded the demos instead. Not only were these downloads faster, but they actually work.

Some games I have in that list aren’t showing up for me in the client.
