Steam to work with partners to deliver a variety of SteamOS enabled devices
I wish I would have wrote it in my last story about SteamOS. As I said to BatRastered last night, and he wholeheartedly agreed, there is no way Valve will get into the hardware business. They revealed this morning that they are launching a beta test for a Steam Machine. There will be many partners and configurations when the specs are finalized. They mentioned that the Steam Machines (at least some configurations) will be upgradable. More on this from Guanodamus as it unfolds. Go sign up for that hardware beta if you're interested. I will wait for the SteamOS distro DVD and I'll do a full write up then!
