All of my games, saved games...they all showed up. Brilliant!

It took less time to move the Steam folder than it did to download just one game (like The Witcher 2), never mind the other dozen or so games I had to get from various services (Direct2Drive, Origin, Impulse, GoG, GamersGate and Amazon).

I also just got a new computer and love Steam Cloud for the games that have it, especially since it seems like games use about 5 or 6 different locations for saved games.
