Valve to release Steam Cloud with next update

Gizmodo brings us news of Valve’s new “Steam cloud” feature, which will allow your Steam account to carry your preferences, keybindings, and save games with you.

Cloud computing is becoming inevitable – the freedom of being able to access your “stuff” from any internet-connected PC is a gigantic convenience, and one that people will gravitate towards more and more. Google did it, and now Valve is doing it. Who next?

   At first, then they're slowly integrating the system into everything else
   
   I'm very excited for this, but how will Valve do it? After all these years, they still maintain a very small employee base at the company. They've branched out so big, they've got to expand eventually...
