Hi Folks, Steam seems to add a Linux client in the near future, so maybe Wine will not be needed anymore for that. or did i get something wrong? That might reduce our "market share" a bit as i guess that many Wineusers play steam games.
The rumor is that Valve is porting the Source Engine and the Steam client. Not all games that come on Steam use the Source engine, and until their developers port to Linux natively, there will still be a need for Wine.
And don't forget about Solaris/BSD users ;-).
