maybe something like that could be done by a special kind of useraccount that only can call opengl commands and filters anithing else or at least all thats filesystemlike and give the game a fake filesystem where it can install its trojans and stuff... a bit like wine maybe... but then again if we use wine anyway because we dont trust companies which are only interested in making money, then we would not need steam anyway?
again maybe I can switch my special gaming-only-windows-pc then against a gaming-only-special-linux-pc... I do not see the big advantage here, windows is not so bad that you cant start a game from it... for that its good enough...
