This is great news for people who own older computers, and also need to dual boot into Windows or Linux for running programs like  LibreOffice, and printing out homework.

I bet Steam OS now supporting older PCs means there would be cheaper Steam Machine console from pc makers who use older or used computers, and computer parts to install Steam OS onto, and sell them for under $200 to play PC console ports like Crazy Taxi, Sonic the Hedgehog, Final Fantasy 7, and less intensive PC games like Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, and Rose Online which are available Steam.
