I work in a medium sized organization and we let people choose which operating system they want to use, but we do let them know that we prefer Linux (we've created our own little custom Ubuntu ISO with the software that we need pre-installed and it took us like two hours).
Today, we have like 10 Ubuntus, a couple of Windows PCs, a couple of Macs and a couple of Chromebooks (not counting our tech staff since we all know how to deal with whatever we're using).
Ubuntu is by far the easiest to deal with (only had a single issue related to LibreOffice crashing Linux because of some DRM issue, but the fix was already released and all we had to do is to update the system). Chromebooks are by far the worst (it took me forever to figure out how to add a damn printer). That's why I think that Chrome OS will never be more than a toy.
As for Valve, their OS is out for about a year now (don't know it it's stable yet) and you can already purchase some Steam boxes I think (I'll have to verify this).
Edit: yes they are, for half a year now: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/steam_machines http://store.steampowered.com/sale/steam_machines
