And lastly I find steam games a bit more buggish, alt+tabbing out of steam games seems to confuse my computer compared to alt+tabbing out of non-steam games.
The advantage of steam is that here in Australia we can buy games via steam at US prices, which are usually far cheaper than buying it in Australia. ;)
