and I think they intend to get their whole library there... and I know they intend a Valve/Steam box... that runs linux.

If Microsoft flubs this, and they may well do so, Valve might end up on top, bringing linux with them.

Huge potential for disruption with the next generation's offerings. I can't wait to see how it plays out...
