Not User Friendly? Have you ever played with Ubuntu? It's an amazingly clean and optimized interface. I'd far prefer to use it over Windows except for the small fact I can't play games without using a Windows emulator/shell program.

I am fully aware that Linux is not a viable OS for Gaming "currently". That is why with the revelation that Valve will be releasing a Steam Linux client, I was wondering if anyone was going to be utilizing it besides indie developers. And as SOE releases games on Steam, just made sense to me to ask the logical question of if they planned on doing either A. A Steam Client at All, or B. Not only on the Steam Client, but Linux to utilize the new Client.

Just thought it would be interesting.
