Nevermind, sunday is a no go for me, due to the incredibly strong windstorm we had in the last 24 hours dinner tonight was moved to sunday due to a power outage.

Yup, and now steam is giving me what I am now told is an unfixable error. Thanks a lot Valve.

Works just fine. Then again, I've been using the UI beta since it was released.

Why did they even make a new UI in the first place? The old one worked just fine. And from what I understand it's actually slower and harder to use, so what exactly was the point?

I quite like the new UI and have been using it since it was released as a beta. I have had no problems with it that weren't fixed.

No, the old one did not work fine. Valve is releasing a Mac version of Steam. Macs, as you may know, do not have Internet Explorer. The old Steam UI was based on IE. The new one is based on Webkit, which makes it portable.

Yeah the IE part of steam was rather unreliable.

On the Library page for your games, there are 3 buttons in the upper-right corner which allow you to select different views.
I only use the middle one which is like the old viewing format.

I am happy that Steam switched to the Webkit engine instead of relying on the Trident engine.

Mac on Steam. Can people who buy a Mac version of a game play with people who have the PC version of the game? ... World of Warcraft is like the only game I know where this is possible. Well, as far as I can think of right now, which is not very far.

Yes, at least for all Valve games.

I don't know of any games where it isn't possible.

It depends on how the games deal with network traffic. Different OS's use different ways to store data, both in-memory and on disk. This affects whether or not the game on one side can understand the data being sent to it.
Games intentionally designed for multi-platform releases have this problem coded out, but some games that later get a port to a different OS may have issues.
