what is that supposed to implicate in concern to linux?

that Steam is trying to position itself as a generic package manager for Windows, thus making Windows users more comfortable with Linux, growing its install base, and justifying releasing Steam/Source for it?

[snuwoods]

dubious...probably not.

Steam(ing pile of shite)
Would rather see a port of WON2 for linux.
Digital distribution sucks too.
Steam was a pain in the arse to install mods that it doesnt list on its stupid website thingy as well as it takes ages to load, login etc, update, advertise crap at you, sit around wasting resources/killing FPS while your trying to play HL2 Episode 2 in highest settings etc etc.

Good job owning STEAM isn't mandated to get on the net.
You have your own opinion about it like others.
Some would love to see corporations take a financial interest in linux.

But as the saying goes. Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has them and they all stink

Could easily be referring to loading on the server that's hosting the game.
