Your feelings on Windows 8 is subjective. I know people that have come to prefer it. You're just nitpicking.

Sounds like you're already praising SteamOS... lets hope the driver support is good and many games you enjoy are ported.

If you want MS's Triple A games, go buy a Xbox 360 or X1. Clearly not enough PC gamers are buying their games and many games skip the PC for that reason.

Not many PC games sell well at $50 - $60. Don't just look for the few exceptions.

Its sounds like your biggest gripe is MS doesn't cater to you. That's isn't a good reason to dislike a company. Sega doesn't cater to me anymore, so I just don't care about Sega anymore. There are plenty of other developers making games I enjoy.

A preference for Valve does not mean I dislike Microsoft as a company, and neither does my grievances concerning Xbox and Windows. If I seriously disliked Microsoft, I wouldn't be typing this right now on my Windows 7 laptop. :P I'm not happy with the direction those platforms are heading, but you're right, my judgements are very much based on subjectivity.

I do, however, dislike Apple, desite my respect for Apple's past achievements regardless.

I got the impression you disliked MS and Windows when you said this, "You essentially detail one of the major reasons why I dislike Microsoft and will support SteamOS like no other: MS has a stranglehold on the gaming OS scene." That kinda gives the impression you strongly dislike MS. You should be running Google's OS on that laptop.

Improper wording on my part. I have strong feelings about Windows, Steam, and the PC gaming scene in general, so I'm sorry if I take it out on Microsoft when I'm not exactly thinking. I do, however, dislike the fact that Windows has a stranglehold on the gaming OS scene. Emphasis on gaming. Chrome OS is for web browsing, and Steam doesn't run on it (and yes, I do game primarily on my laptop).

I also will actually not support Steam OS if it turns out to be really shitty. Thankfully it's free, so I don't have to set high standards. I'll set my standards to "better than Windows 8", and if it doesn't meet them, Valve will be hearing my feedback and suggestions as to where everything went horribly wrong.
