Valve should build an Operating System.

[Kalphiter]

When you think about it, Gabe's pissed at Windows for turning itself into stuff, and he wants to move Steam to Linux to save PC gamers in a way.

He DOES, however, have a stuffload of experience making an operating system. He was basically the lead behind developing the first 3 releases of Windows.

What would the PC industry be like if Valve released a PC-gaming friendly Operating System for Intel-based systems? Discuss!

Trash the entire Windows source, start from the ground up again.

Windows 9 will be better, windows is a crap-great-crap-great system, it's just at crap currently.

Pretty much, yeah.

Why is it that every similar thread, someone says "Durr, they're making the Steam Box."

Wasn't that confirmed to be fake by Valve? I don't seem to see anything confirming that it is being made.

Haha, that's pretty interesting. I can't wait to see what it is.

Yeah, me neither.  To me, it seems as if it's not the Steambox, but either a controller or maybe even a streaming box.  It seems way too quick to be a full on console.

the solution is to transfer all the games onto linux and mac and just let microsoft based gaming computers die as we all slap penguin and half eaten apple stickers on all of our things.

Figure around <50 Buds but >20 for a Steambox

My math is way loving off, 250 would be about correct.
