Nope, when Steam on Linux has a bit more time to get some more selection avaliable, I'll be upgrading to Ubuntu or Fedora.

Exactly, I keep procrastinating that I will give Linux another try. The sooner there are more games for Linux the sooner I will get more motivated.

Pretty happy with W7, so i don't really care atm.

Given how much market saturation 7 has over 8, developers wouldn't easily give us the shaft as many people here are predicting.

I know this isn't a Linux topic but I know what you mean!

I wonder if Steam will work with the WINE developers to help them with non steam games now that would be pretty awesome! I would love to see games able to be played on anything.. Linux/Mac/Windows

I was never able to find it cheap here in Australia anyway. Not that I looked very hard since I'm not interested.
