SteamOS

[PCTechmaster07]

Valve announced earlier today that it will be releasing a new Operating System based on Linux. This will more than likely be what comes with the Steambox whenever they finally release one.

Steam is coming to a new operating system

As we’ve been working on bringing Steam to the living room, we’ve come to the conclusion that the
environment best suited to delivering value to customers is an operating system built around Steam itself.
SteamOS combines the rock-solid architecture of Linux with a gaming experience built for the big screen.
It will be available soon as a free stand-alone operating system for living room machines.

The one thing that I'm most interested in is this:

In-home Streaming

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!

I wonder how well the in-home streaming will work?
