International - Most of you people nowadays should know what STEAM is. It is the communication platform developed by Valve Corporation that brings you a large number of games such as Half-life, Counter strike and of course, Left 4 dead. So finally after debuting in 2002, its going to come pre-installed in Dell/Alienware PCs. Its is just easier that way so that we wont have to install steam whenever we reboot the computer. The free game demos inside steam doesn't work also.

A short quote from Kotaku.com:
In what's probably more important news than you first realise, Dell and Valve have signed a deal whereby Steam will come pre-installed on all Alienware computers.

That's every single one of the gaming PC-makers laptops and desktops going forward. With a free copy of Portal thrown in for good measure. Sounds trivial, but this is exactly the kind of thing that gives Internet Explorer such a huge market share: it's not because it's any good, it's because you buy a PC, and it's normally already there, waiting for you.

Wow, this is going to be real cool.

Since now that Icefrog joined Valve, so it means those who get the Dell/Alienware pc or laptops you will have Steam on it and can easily get the "future DotA". Hope maybe they bundle the "future DotA" with each system, that will be the ultimate coolness.

Just a marketing gimmick T_T downloading and installing steam takes under a minute seriously. Now it's down to who's paying for the games distributed under Steam or not :D and then downloading it o.O
