Read between the lines, and you know what Steam thinks of W8.
If Steam does this - they are screwing themselves. The linux/WINE market is significantly smaller. They HAVE to stay M$ compatible - or else they not only piss off all their customers that upgrade, but they screw themselves out of their market. They may spread the platform to include linux, but the moment they abandon windows is the moment they sign their "we plan on going bankrupt" notice. No way they don't get Win8 compatible.
