With the recent rumors around the idea of a Steam-based console, is it possible that all this work for a Linux client and native Linux steam engine is setting the framework for an open source (software and hardware) based console.

EDIT: I see other comments state that Valve is not working on any sort of console. Still, it leaves me thinking they may have a longer-term plan than just selling games to Linux users.

It's a shame that Gabe denied the rumours that he was talking with Apple. I was hoping for a Steam client embedded in Apple's new TV thingy.
