   On a conventional desktop, you would have a point.   
      
   But on a handheld device, the Windows interface and overhead just get in   
   the way. While SteamOS cannot offer 100% compatibility, it provides a   
   superior enough user experience that it has become the leader in that   
   particular market, leaving genuine-Windows-based competitors in the dust.   
      
   True, that market is still small. But the fact that Microsoft has taken an   
   interest and is now trying seriously (though not successfully) to compete,   
   shows that it recognizes the potential for growth.
