Tons of Windows based gaming handhelds already exist from Asus, Lenovo, Aya, GPD, etc. I'd doubt Microsoft releasing one, hypothetical Valve acquisition or not, would set the world on fire.

Knowing good old M$, though, if they tried it they'd make it some kind of Xbox product.

    Yeah, but SteamOS is definitely a better OS. A lighter OS specifically. The Steam Deck, while being powerful, isn't exactly too powerful and having Windows on it isn't optimal.

    Luckily GPD (i think) offers SteamOS for their devices and i do want to buy a Win Mini.
