Needs a Linux client.

S'pretty neat. Needs a way to launch certain games with the big picture mode overlay from the normal steam client so I can sit back with a controller and be lazy and still be able to respond to all those people trying to bug me.
So this runs from inside steam? then lets you launch controller games or what?
I'm under the impression that it's steam formatted for use with a controller and displays that are likely farther away than your computer monitor would be.
Is it just just connected via an hdmi cable? I never really dealt with windows media center's whole "connect your computer, tv, and xbox" so I'm really oblivious as to how the whole connection process works. It sounds sort of like I would have to bring my computer into the tv room in order to hook up a controller as well.
Well I'd tell you, because I was about to test it out, but my HTPC shit the bed last week and corrupted its wireless adapter drivers.

Apparently it was the wireless adapter that shit the bed, I replaced it and everything works fine. Although I noticed its only single-band N, I should probably get a simultaneous dual-band one but meh.
Re: the interface, I think it looks really nice, but its super sluggish on my HTPC. I doubt even something like Audiosurf would run well on it, which is unfortunate since I would like to see the Big Picture.
