In May, the true experiment will begin when gamers can pick between a $499.99 SteamOS version with 16GB / 512GB, a $599.99 Windows version with 16GB / 1TB

Is there any logical reason for the Windows version to have more storage? What is that about?

To hide the license cost for Windows.

That extra 512GB storage costs ~$30 or so but I doubt average consumer has any idea about that.
Also there's the thing that Windows alone requires like 100GB space...

No it doesn’t? The minimum spec says 64gb of storage, but windows itself takes 20-30gb.

100GB was a decent approximation then, only 50% over the actual minimum spec
