How to Run Steam OS with Windows

Well Steam OS is not just limited to a stand alone desktop interface and of course downloading a bunch of files to install it.  In fact Windows users can actually use Steam OS right from their own Windows machine with a simple command seen in the screenshot below.

After you input the command run the Steam shortcut on your desktop and Steam will automatically load Steam OS Big Screen mode.  There is obviously not much of a difference other then a new update screen which shows within Big Screen mode instead of the old Desktop update.  Below is a screen with a copyright disclaimer for Steam OS again running on Windows 8.1.

Now you don't have to download Steam OS to enjoy its benefits you can enjoy it using it right from your Windows Operating system.
