Already played Portal on my brother's copy of the Orange Box for the PS3. But hell, I can't turn down a free game, even if I have already played it. :D

Says Free until May 24th, no mention of it expiring at all, just that it is free. My guess is keep forever.

It's yours forever. The main idea of this is to get Mac users to quickly install Steam so they can get them buying other games. ;) Secondarily, it will surely get more people to buy Portal 2 when that is released.

Exactly. I'd wager there will be hundreds of thousands of Mac users installing Steam who otherwise wouldn't just to get this deal.

Servers too busy, but luckily it's not one of those flash sales and we get two whole weeks.

Smart move by Valve to bring in more Portal fans that will we glad to pay full price for Portal 2 later this year.

You're right, since Activision doesn't have an attached digital distribution service that they make tons of money off of.

The game came out over two years ago, it's not really that bad.
