Nobody really cares about WON (except the hackers who broke it a long time
ago to get free game codes).
They care about playing the game.

Its not that Steam is unreliable or that WON is this great thing nobody
wants to see go away.
The Steam Client has been reliable for several months now.

The problem is that pushed updates allow the vendor (Valve) to push untested
updates.
And that is what they have been doing.

Weather its Steam or WON is really irrelevant. Steam is just a game front
end and content delivery client.

Its these untested updates, for the various mods that are launched by Steam,
that cause the problems.

Again I say to Valve,


Add a Beta checkbox to the Steam client so Servers and Clients can volunteer
to be a Beta.

Test the updates for a week on only Beta machines, then roll them out to
everyone else.

QED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Problem solved.
