Valve aren't MS fans. They're PC fans, and they favor the 360 because of it's PC-like architecture.

Valve and MS are constantly at odds concerning things like Games for Windows Live, and Steam is something that MS themselves are trying to tackle through the GFWL initiative.

Of course, MS would probably love to buy Valve, but Valve would never go for it. Not to mention, MS would never be able to justify the price of Valve to it's shareholders, given their troubles reaching profitability in their gaming division thus far.

Tbh, I don't see Valve getting bought by anybody anytime soon.  They're just too big.  At most a merger might happen, ala Blizzard-Activision.
