Well after the whole "had to be online just to play it" thing going on, I"ll forgive something as small as needing to pop online one time to activate it. I can do that mess all of times.
As for splitting Steam games across hard disks... hmm that's an iffy one. Is that actually the case? I will say I have a 200 GB hard disk so that issue hasn't come up just yet. When I hit the point where I need to install things to my secondary 80 GB hard disk, well likely I'll just move the entire Steam folder right on over. Yeah, I can see that being annoying at times. Hmm... Here's a work around. Steam could be designed so that games just install to their normal folders but part of the install process also puts files in the Steam folder indicating where the games are installed.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
