A comment on SteamOS.

What I'm curious of is most of Steam's users are probably avid PC gaming fans that prefer PC gaming over console gaming

At least that's true for me and various of my 'internet friends'

I am with you, but I am a PC gaming fan, not necessarily a Windows gaming fan. WHat I like about this is not the ability to put a Steambox into my living room, but to replace windows with SteamOS on my PC.

If I had a console with sane controls and games that fully support those controls (e.g. mouse / keyboard for first person games), I'd totally dig replacing my gaming PC with a console. Unifying your gaming PC with your living room hardware gives you a nice advantage in that you can maximize your budget for a nice HD TV / HiFi sound setup instead of buying all that stuff twice.
