It seems, despite Valve’s protestations, Steams users are adopting Windows 8 four times faster than the general population.
Their own updated Steam hardware stats page shows in total 4.69 percent of users have already adopted Windows 8, versus between 1.44 percent and 1.09 percent according to Statcounter and NetApplications.
The percentage is more than half of the 8.07 Vista user base and exceeds the 3.26 percent Apple users.
The news is probably not that surprising, given that most gamers want to be on the cutting edge of PC technology, and that Windows 8 generally results in a faster PC, but it does suggest that Valve may want to rethink their objections to Windows 8 before a significant percentage of their users start running the OS.
