  They haven’t released the installable ISO, but there’s no reason why hardware vendors and Valve couldn’t work together to build a Steam OS image for specific devices.

    Presuming valve wants to do this of course.

      Don’t see why they wouldn’t. Every SteamOS device sold is a huge win for them

        Depends how they view their business evolving. Ask Apple if you can build a device that runs iOS. They have an App Store and make lots of money from it.

        If they want to be in the hardware business, not just building proof of concept/proof of market devices, they very much may not want to share it with other manufacturing of competing devices.

      They have everything to win and nothing to lose. SteamOS is purpose built to direct you to Steam, Valve only wins.
