Seconded here. I had a quite accessible experience with Steam earlier
this year, including changing the aforementioned download folder.
I don't use it a lot, but every time I do it works pretty well.
Also, I will point out that there's an important difference between
saying you want to accomplish a task (such as purchase a game) and
saying you want to accomplish that task in a specific manner. If there
is no way to accomplish the task, that's a problem. If there's no way to
accomplish the task in the specific way you want but others are
available that's a trade-off to make or leave depending on what's
important to you, but regardless of your decision the fact remains the
task can be accomplished.
P.S:
If you're really having trouble changing your download folder within
steam just symlink it to wherever and call it good.

Thanks for all the comments, folks, but I'm now more confused than ever.
LOL!
It works ... It doesn't work ... It kinda works ... So, do I need to
download and use the Steam windows client or not to play games?
And is there a way to get sequence Storm without bothering with Steam?
Thanks,
