Even without steam, I think MS would have moved towards online distribution of EVERYTHING. The direction is very clear. It was pioneered by Apple's itunes and later app store. However, even going back into the 80's, there were many computer pundits who saw that all software would be sold online in the future (there was already compuserve providing a crude early distribution platform). Online ONLY distribution games, software, and movies is coming soon and MS is trying to be position themselves to be the distributor.
