Does anyone think Steam will be featured heavily in the "Back to the Mac" keynote?

I think that this is a distinct possiblity because of two things:
1. 10.6.5 is supposed to bring a host of 3D rendering improvements
2. VALVe already made a statement about 10.6.5 and it's improvements.

This would be AWESOME.
 
Hopefully not, I want new, innovative features of 10.7; not 20 minute demos of video games.

Agreed, game playing is not a priority for me, and I prefer what apple will do, not how many game developers are writing for the mac.

God I hope not.

Focusing on that would be unbelievably boring. Where is the excitement in "we can play games too" ?
 
Since Steam is not made by Apple, I would put the possibility of Steve spending any of his keynote time talking about it at 0%.

A casual mention? Perhaps. Featured "heavily"? Nope.
 
I know I sound like an echo, but no, I don't think Steam will come up. It will more than likely be a preview of 10.7.
 
Seriously doubt it, if they did mention gaming it's doubtful they'd use the limited time they had to talk much about something they haven't developed themselves.
