After a brief delay, Valve has opened up the beta for The Steam Community, its online Steam-integrated social and gaming service.To take part in the beta, go to the Settings screen from the File menu while logged into Steam, and click the “Change…” button in the “Beta participation” area. Restarting Steam will enable the new Community tab, from which you may manage your profile, friends list, events, and groups. My current Steam Rating is “0 - Teh Suck.”
Viewing friends’ profiles or group profiles allows you to monitor the gaming activity of friends or group members, as well as participate in text and voice chat rooms. Non-Steam games can be added to the Steam list from the Games menu. If a friend is playing a game, you can launch that game through a context-sensitive menu or, apparently, join that friend’s game if applicable.

According to the DOSBox developers, they were not notified that it was being used for this release.

Only Sun, IBM and HP are certified, so OS X turns the Big Three into the Big Four.
