    Why would you want “steam” installed? It’s just a normal program, you can install it yourself in 5 minutes.

    Because having Steam pre-installed signals that the hardware producer planned for gaming and has done some basic testing for gaming.

    The new “Steam Machine Verified” badge is the most exciting part of all this.
