Steam UI Update Rolls Out Monday
Though branded as a mere "UI Update," the changes it brings to the digital distribution platform extend beyond a new look.
For one, the new client offers "syndicated feeds from top computer gaming sources," including Shacknews. The underlying technology has also changed, with Steam now powered by "WebKit based rendering engine" instead of Internet Explorer.
Valve is also readying a Mac client of Steam, which will offer native Mac versions of Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Portal and the Half-Life series when it launches before the end of April 2010. Thanks thearrow756.

Yeah I'm still worried about what this build will be like. The others were hogs and I had a number of issues with games not showing up correctly.

Don't be obtuse. Everyone knows how minor irritations can be cumulative.
Although choice isn't what's at hand here, I've seen many people make choices between IT products or versions of a product on exactly such minor points. -
