Steam is a good service and it's getting even better I think..
Take a look here
The new features makes it look very competitive with Games For Windows Live... and a cool thing is it's what people think Games For Windows Live should be. You don't need to have a game open to be on steam and it works with any game on there... Games For Windows live only supports the two games that have it built in and only when those games are open. Also it doesn't look like you'd have to pay extra to use those features in Steam. Some person suggested that Games For Windows Live still has a chance for success because they have achievements which some people are addicted to. But what good are achievements if only two games on GFWL support them?
They should bring out steam for Mac (I'm guessing it would probably be with Cider) and maybe also Linux.
