It seems Valve have no plans to attend CES next year, but they did confirm they are planning a large presence at GDC. Looks like there will be a lot of Steam Machine news next year!
Here's to hoping they have settled down on a final revision for the Steam Controller which was holding things up, but it doesn't leave them long to really polish-up the SteamOS experience.
Personally, I doubt I will ever use SteamOS, as I have zero need for it, but I can see the attraction to it for others. I just badly want to get my hands on that Steam Controller. I really can't imagine what it's like to play on a game-pad that has touch-pads, it warps my mind.
Alienware seem to have properly jumped ship, and have launched what was going to be their Steam Machine as a Windows box that resembles a console. Although, we did already know they were doing this.
The news comes thanks to Techradar.

At GDC 2015... Official Steam Machines Launch:
What about...
"For every official Steam Machine sold, you will get a gift card that includes a free copie of or a pre-installed version of:"
One or many of the followings:
Half Life 3(?);
Left 4 Dead 3;
Gauntlet;
The Witcher 3;
Metro redux;
Project Cars.
I picked these games because of the timing of their releases or the mystery around their linux port and I wouldn't be surprised if it was related...
And because many console users don't know how to reinstall and/or hack a system they'll stick with SteamOS and its 800+ games and be happy with it.
I don't mean any offense in this comment, I understand that for some, tweaking a pc is not in their priority list.
