Jeffrey, I think what Valve is hoping to do is grow the Mac market with Steam and at the same time take control as the dominant force in that market. While there are a lot of households that have Macs and PC's, I think the data may be betraying you. How many of those dual-computer households are ones in which the family has a PC but the kid has a Mac of his own? Why else would a family have two computers? There are plenty of Mac people who dual boot to Windows in order to play video games (like, every college student I know,) and I think that if Valve plays their cards right, they could actually help grow the Mac market, as lack of games is the Mac's single biggest drawback, in my opinion. (Hell I might own a Mac if it weren't for lack of games.) Games are going to come to Macs eventually and Valve is trying to control the market when that happens. It has a good chance of working.
