One interesting thing about all this stuff is that we may see a big swing towards paid/trusted solutions for all these type of things.

Maybe the 5-10% of true nerds will go find the l33t open source solutions, but most people will just use some paid solution.

Maybe Steam could build. Or in Windows. Or some SaaS solution for registry.
