So, Valve dropped this today:

I'm actually intrigued by the idea; if games are able to run as close to the metal as possible, with specifically designed drivers and interfaces, it could be interesting in terms of performance.

Also, of course, I'm going to see how to go about developing for this when it comes out; good excuse to replace my Ubuntu partition, since my new graphics card screwed it up.

Anyway, there's two more announcements coming up. I guess "Steam Box" and "Steam Pad".

It was pretty obvious.

In retrospect.

Too many people thought that the third announcement would be a certain game series' third installment, or potentially the release of the sharing system (Since the symbol on the third panel was ).

Of course, it was all a wild guess on my part anyway.
