Given many new handhelds coming on the scene and general disinterest of Microsoft to support the market, do you think SteamOS will take place of default OS the same way Android did on phones some time ago?

Fwiw, you can disable those Windows forced reboots in the group policy editor of Windows, at least in the Pro version. I don't even let mine give me the update notifications any more - I just see the option to install when I go to manually shutdown or reboot.

Edit: granted, Windows updates sometimes unexpectedly make problems anyway, albeit much less often for me than Linux ones.
