The rise of Linux is upon us

The one thing Microsoft will never do is try to deliver a good product. The executives would rather gouge the users for every last penny and steal all their data, and this will be it's downfall. Linux has the advantage, and is only getting started.

I don't think they actively try to release a bad product, but anything good is an anomaly of using minimal effort

I'd be down with Valve making a proprietary distribution of SteamOS that's easily installable, and works with other CPUs.

Valve is planning on Making SteamOS available to install for regular Desktops at some point, though it has taken them awhile. In the meantime, Linux Mint is pretty terrific.
