I'm not complaining about this pre loading stuff, anyway. Maybe next time they won't do it.

For me, I can live with the pre load of a game that will be popular when it starts (Though a better way to stop it, since I said not to preload it and it still did). It is the fact that it installed normal CS with out asking me that upset me. There was no reason to install that automatically, the are just tring to force it down on those who do not play it. If I wanted CS, I would have DL and installed it myself since it has always been available. It would be like if you played one of the Quakes (I not sure which one is the newest) and ID decied to install the Doom games and preloading Doom III (And Shaft, before you yell about this example, since steam is still relatively new, there is nothing direct to compare it to yet). It is just a ploy to attemt to promote the new game by forcing the old one on to you

Actually I'm starting to like them a little. They actually have done some good things lately instead of every update being total crap.

Yeah this update was probably the least buggy of all the updates they've released so far.

Steam has worked fine for me until the last update. TV I goes offline and online for me constantly even though the server's perfectly fine and running.
