Here are last months Steam hardware stats for anyone that cares. Windows 8 will soon be the second most used OS by Steam gamers.

Well that's not much of an achievement since its competitors for the position are buggy and widely despised, and 12 years old, respectively.
It'll probably rise higher than Vista did, but nowhere near the heights that 7 reached. And then they'll release another OS in a couple of years with significant improvements that do something other than ruin the UI (making the user fix it himself), and everything will be fine again. It's a nice cycle.
Steam runs fine on my Windows 8 notebook so I don't really see why Gaben was complaining. It's not like you have to use their appstore.

Keep in mind that Windows Blue is coming which means that Windows 8 will probably be the last major OS change for a while from microsoft. I doubt you will ever have to install a new OS to be honest. It will be the same as OSX. 20 dollar yearly or bi-yearly upgrades...
