Review: Steam's OS X Client UPDATED

How Valve's brand new Mac client downloader works in real life just after release.  The article is by a Valve user (and critic) who points out the service is brand new and that a lot of its success depends on game developers making their games playable on the Mac as well as the PC.

UPDATE:  Steam is now releasing Prima Guides via their service.  They can be viewed inside the game and also read outside the game.  Interesting development!  Details, including the games with guides available so far, here.  Thanks to Kotaku for pointing this out.
