Heh, you know what that means. Home network upgrade!"You can play all your Windows and Mac games on your SteamOS machine, too. Just turn on your existing computer and run Steam as you always have - then your SteamOS machine can stream those games over your home network straight to your TV!"

Don`t know if I understand this correctly... the processing is done on your gaming pc, so theoretically you`ll be able run crysis 3 on a raspberry pie.Originally Posted by czc
Which makes me wonder if they will include an option later on to stream the games to your mobile? Something similar to say Kainy, or even Nvidia Shield.
All I know is some exciting times ahead if you into games.
I mean the network. I don't think a 54mbps wireless network will be able to handle the streaming.

This would be awesome
Good thing our home network was upgraded to a gigabit network.
I think latency might also be a problem with wireless, don`t know about bandwidth though. lossless 1080p requires ridiculous bandwidth.

1080p @ 30fps: 1,49 Gbps.
Don`t know what compression will be used.
I have to do this...Consoles can suck itlol
I can already see, gamers not needing to use windows as their OS in 2 years from now.
Microsoft will have to adapt or die, or they could possibly release their own "gaming" OS.

I highly doubt this will break Microsoft's hold or even that we'll see a large-scale switch-over to SteamOS in a short time. Rather, it will likely be a systemic process that takes place over a couple of years, while developers and publishers start to provide support for Linux. A few years down the line SteamOS might have a sizable chunk of the gaming demographic, but not the majority.
As it stands right now, there's still the 'little' issue of the majority of games not supporting Linux.
I wasn't aware the Xbox One software was meant for pc...
Edit: I am specifically talking about a OS for gamers on PC, I really don't like consoles or console gaming apart from the Forza Series on Xbox.
