Steam and nVidia go serious in their reaction to Windows 8

As they already announced in reaction to the licensing scheme of Windows 8, Steam has just released the closed Beta of Steam for Linux. Simultaneously, nVidia released serious optimizations of drivers for Linux. While nVidia may be happy to run on both trains, Steam's action must be seen as a direct reaction to Microsoft preparing to turn the open PC platform into a closed app-world.
