Videogaming247 had an interview the Valve's boss Gabe Newell to talk about Left 4 Dead, Episode Three ,peer-to-peer functionality, how Steam is planned to contain apps like Firefox, and how the Wii is awesome.

Functionality and services.

One of the things we’d like to do is to understand what types of applications people have on their PCs. For example, if a whole bunch of people are running Firefox, then make sure that’s one of the applications they can get through Steam.

There are community features that we want to continue to add. There’s peer-to-peer functionality: the community has this tremendous amount of bandwidth. There’s a whole bunch of content that they’re downloading right now, and being able to replicate that throughout the community using peer-to-peer would be a really good idea. What they need is a structured interface on top of that so they can find the content that everybody’s already downloading. Those are the kind of things we’re looking at.
