There is no need for streaming like OnLive. On x86 platforms, I don't see why Steam couldn't emulate the Windows version, much like what Wine or Cedega does. This is one way that they could support cross-platform gaming on OS X, Windows, and Linux. But I guess instead, Valve is going after a common baseline to develop native code on those three OSes.
