Bought Halflife when it came out, thought the game itself, and Valve were awesome.. I continued thinking this until I bought Sin:episodes -Emergence. When I attempted to install the game, and found out that it was required of me to be connected to the internet, as well as install some extra application just to do anything, I returned the game to the store. In my eyes, Steam is to gaming as Itunes is to music (Absolute trash)

I don't think it is really that "heavy" program. I haven't got any problems with even older PCs.
Yeah, it is bad that you are forced to use a program that you don't want to use. That's probably the only thing I dont like in Steam, but for me it is no problem, since I use it normally everyday. One of the really cool things in Steam is that you don't have to have any CDs for your games. You can download the games from the Steam's servers (yeah, bad thing when slow internet speed. But I think you don't buy "digital games" when you have slow internet speed). No need to keep CD-keys in safe places etc. You can optionally make a back up of a game and burn it to a CD so you don't have to download it later.

it isnt a lightweight (peice of junk ...) because its got useuable features, and it's built to be used on Gaming Rigs, not 50$ USD Laptops....it's newest builds are for the newest OS (including Mac OSX 10.5).
it also saves you the trouble of running through pages on the internet just to find the download, and streams straight to you :)
also with the downloads, you cam choose were to get it from :D

I'm paranoid about computers and i always need to get fastest computer (way or another)
And that's why i leave everything that eat computers RAM or other recourses off to play games with better quality.
So why to download/install trash to you computer, if you can get same thing with lower PC specs?

i just noticed you edit this....
and as i have said, steam is built for gaming rigs, not something u pick up in the 2nd hand store that was built for minor office work x.x
God even my school laptop, which is horrible, is always using 60% memory etc etc, 70+ processes on launch, could run steam without a problem x.x
Zinthos:
In the new version of Xfire, the ini file is in the C:\ProgramData\Xfire folder.
That's a hidden folder, so type it in the adressbar.
