That's really unlikely.

That's really unlikely. Valve's biggest competitor, threat, and pain point is Microsoft. Microsoft essentially tried to destroy PC gaming with Xbox and completely neglected games on PCs. (Microsoft has publicly admitted the latter.) Microsoft has been trying to lock down their eco-system with Windows Store which if successful, would be a death blow to Valve. Microsoft has created a support nightmare with their OS for games in terms of games, from usability to driver reliability. Look up Gabens comments on Vista and Windows 8. This is what is driving Valve to do SteamOS and Steam Machines.
