i seriously hope that steam will have some "custom command" box for windows only games in the linux client, for launching them with wine,playonlinux or whatnot..
cuz there will be huge list of games that still doesnt get ported to linux.
valve games + hundreds of indies are still a minority...

steam yes... not the blog... according to first blog they are quite ready just need some optimizing for L4D2 and port other games.

unfortunately HoN didn't appeal me enough. it has native client and pretty good graphics, but i play LoL instead because its just much more simpler game to play and i'm too lazy to play hardcore.
too bad that LoL doesn't have native client. but it works without problems with playonlinux.
anyway i might give few more tries to HoN in the future

im with liam, hamish and troy.
hate to have my proprietary games/programs installed system wide.
i like to have Games folder in my $HOME, where all my games are located and Programs folder where all my proprietary programs have.

when u have some issues with ur linux or want to switch distro then its also good to just wipe / and use the same /home partition or just link the new distro to same /home partition and use the same apps as they were by not reinstalling any of them.

my 2 coins

i hope no deb, cuz i like to have my stuff installed portable, not in the /usr folders.
if there is deb tho. u can pretty much extract it and probably use with any distro, with some small symlinking probably.
