Steam & Source games finally coming to Mac

Following the discovery of Mac GUI elements embedded in the new Steam 2010 beta client (which incidentally if you've not tried you should give a go!) the rumour mill has been working overtime as to if and when Steam would be ported to the Mac platform.Well Valve has finally confirmed the rumours, and a bunch of teaser images have been released - my favourite of which is this:  It's likely that just the steam distribution platform and the source games will be ported in the near future - it remains to be seen if any other game developers on steam will support Macs too.Now, if only Apple would start offering some decent graphics cards with their kit we might actually be onto something here!!More teaser images here.
