Steam vs Origin UI responsiveness test. I noticed Steam was slightly jerky to use, and I compared it to a similar program. Both are digital distribution services for PC games, but one is coded more natively to Windows (Origin) and the other more open source WebKit (Steam). Delays in the user interaction negatively affects the user experience. I hope Valve manages to improve the UI response, as I rather prefer Steam over Origin :p and also prefer open source. Maybe they can use Direct2D, Firefox, IE9 and Opera Next does, and they have awesome smoothness in web content. Try Firefox 12 or IE9 on some HTML5 tests: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/ System specs Windows 7 64bit SP1 120Hz LCD monitor GeForce GTX 580 Core i7 3930K 4.7GHz 15GB ram (i know big specs but i just upgraded my six years old PC)
