Steam OS announced.

http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/

"As we’ve been working on bringing Steam to the living room, we’ve come to the conclusion that the
environment best suited to delivering value to customers is an operating system built around Steam itself.
SteamOS combines the rock-solid architecture of Linux with a gaming experience built for the big screen.
It will be available soon as a free stand-alone operating system for living room machines."

According to the article, SteamOS will be a free linux-based operating system made to work for "living room machine" (what this is hasn't exactly been explained by Valve yet, but it's assumed this isn't a PC). It will allow the person to play on their living room TV, using the same UI as "Big Picture". Features are to include better optimization for games, family-sharing (which had already been previously revealed by Valve), and more.

So, what are the next two major Valve announcements? An anonymous user on /v/ thinks he's found it out:



While it makes sense and it would be interesting if it happened, some /v/irgins don't exactly agree with the valve hype...


So, who's right? Looks like we have two days to find out... (hey, at least tomorrow we'll know about the pronunciation book shit going down. It's a week of mystery!)
