It is supposed to replace livingroom-gaming for and with HTPCs.
Well, in a way it IS. Gabe is a big fan of Linux and SteamOS is effectvely Linux with a pretty face and is hopefully one step closer to taking gaming away from the exclusivity of Windows and bring Linux into the picture.
Valve have already converted their library over to linux and are bringing more and more games in all the time. This is one more step for them to try and get more people over to linux from windows.
Having a 'steam box' or a pc with steamos installed on it in the front room, would play linux games. Any windows games you would need to run on a windows pc and strem them over the LAN to that box via Steam. Until other companies get their systems into Linux (Origin, uPlay, etc) they wouldn't work, although they MAY stream via a "non-steam game" from the windows pc.
I can't see people using thumbsticks to create an excel document, with that being said, its safe to assume the UI will look pretty similar to that of what's currently in use.
The only way I can see Linux denting Ms's market share is if people adopt different distros and use the Linux client on that.
And I believe a lot of people think the same. Can't vouche for everyone but SteamOS could be set to replace Windows for the most of us.
I've used Linux plenty enough in the past and yes its very good in a production environment I only really use it now for security reasons (grown sick of hacking and messing with wine).
I've no doubt that adoption rate would increase if it was going to contain programes that your average Joe would be familiar with.
But with media and gaming in mind I can't see it really replacing a production desktop. I'll personally use it as a way of playing PC games on my TV with the LAN streaming functionality but steamOS to create documents blah blah blah I'll stick with something that doesn't require 16 clicks to get the job done a la Win 8.
I really like the concept, but is it too ahead of its time?
There is already a thread discussing the SteamOS.
