Since I spend most of my time in front of a computer screen and not a tv, I hope they also roll out some improvements to the steam client as well.
Things like the ability to tag my games with multiple categories; To see trailers and descriptions of the games I "bought and forgot"; Pause the game and read the user manual; and the ability to actually PLAY a game right now instead of being forced to wait for hours while it downloads and applies updates to itself and the game I already have downloaded, installed, and partly played.
"being forced to wait for hours while it downloads and applies updates to itself and the game I already have downloaded, installed, and partly played."
The default is to keep the game updated, I believe. Do you have it set to not do that? But then, I also have steam set to start on boot up. If you rarely start the steam client then it's going to need to apply updates. Do you have it set to start steam on boot up?
That's cause the new steam browser uses a customized chromium engine, while the old steam just used the trident (internet explorer) engine that's part of windows.
