A follow up question to this is what do you think about the new wine improvements?

Like most things valve does we just have to wait. Often times the end result is worth it. My only hope is that steam OS is not ubuntu based as I would hate to see an entire ecosystem stuck on mir and/or unity based systems. Especially if the current dashboard in steam is any performance indicator.
No news on SteamOS?
We even have nVidia helping valve build steamos and create a direct3D to OpenGL wrapper for Linux so that windows games can be more easily ported.
