With its features, In-Home Streaming is the ideal choice to stream games from a highly configurable PC to a laptop, or a HTPC (home theater PC) connected to the TV screen. The service can also stream Windows games on computers running Linux, MacOS, and even SteamOS. Therefore, this will be an important card for Valve in developing Steam Machine, a line of gaming computers using the Linux kernel.
