It still won't stop Steam OS from existing or growing to become an option regardless. Just look at what Apple has over MS that MS themselves cannot grasp despite both having been around for a long time, if you want to knock down Linux some pegs then knock down MS for they haven't got what Apple still has at the top of the chain, phones tablets and all.

yes it will, maintaining an OS is time and resource intensive, and unless they can actually make performance at least on par then adoption rate is going to remain miserable.  MS has 10 times the desktop market share of Apple and Apple has a tough time in desktop gaming too, Linux has a fraction of what apple market is for desktops. Whats more the very reasons for Valve to invest in Steam OS have vanished so I just can't see them investing the 100's of millions if not billions that would be required to even give it a chance. It reminds me of the linux and Wine problem, always playing catchup and the best you could ever hope to achieve was mediocre support equal to N-2 versions of windows at best.
