Given many new handhelds coming on the scene and general disinterest of Microsoft to support the market, do you think SteamOS will take place of default OS the same way Android did on phones some time ago?

    That is indeed a good reason, but while it’s possible for Microsoft to do that, it’s extremely unlikely to ever happen.

      Don’t discount it, it feels like they’ve been pushing cloud gaming and their subscription pretty hard

        Not just cloud gaming, cloud Windows itself. Gaming is just a massive market now and cutting off Steam would be PR suicide if nothing else, they would only do it if they really thought there was no good alternative for gamers to turn to, but with Valve’s spearheading of Proton etc, I think it would be too risky for MS. But yeah, you never know right.
