8 Things Steam OS Needs To Become An Alternative To Windows

6. Full Media Integration

This is an important one. If I'm going to use SteamOS, I want it to come with the whole package. Music, movies, internet browsing, books... whatever kind of media I might feel the need to experience at the given moment. However, I also want everything to be fully integrated into the UI, just like the games currently are. Imagine being able to quickly switch from movie to game mode, with the additional bonus of playing your personal music collection in the background (Steam Music is a beta feature already). That would be really awesome, and make the whole experience much more seamless than it currently is on Windows. Smooth system integration is a feature that could potentially bring SteamOS closer towards what it's obviously trying to be - a media outlet waiting to be customised according to what the end user wants.
