Hypothetically, if Valve made a strong push to make SteamOS compatible with all Windows programs, not just games, could they make a serious run at knocking down Windows?

And why would they care? Not even Microsoft really cares about Windows licensing for consumers and businesses are never going to use computers running fake Windows.

There is no real business case.

The value in software at that scale isn't the product. It's the support. And Valve's support as is is really shaky.

Businesses will happily throw a few million to make tech support another businesses' problem. Cheaper than maintaining a team in-house.
