Is this even a big deal? Who is gonna stay in the Metro UI mode other than senior citizens and people who only play Solitaire and web games?


the people who don't have a keyboard attached at the moment.


What? Why? If Steam releases touch games then just throw the steam icon on your desktop and launch it. If you don't have touch games then you wouldn't be playing without a keyboard and mouse.


Lots of Steam games play well, sometimes even best, with a game controller.

The UI formerly known as Metro also seems that it would work reasonably well, at least better than WIMP, with a controller. Have anyone tried to plug in a controller to Surface, and see if it works?
