Ryoman: Games for Windows Live has Osmos on sale for $2.49 right now. It's well worth that.

I'll second that. It's not as easy as it sounds. Basic modes are get bigger, get bigger vs. AI cell, get bigger in the presence of an attractor (orbitals), and absorb attractors/respulsors. That said, I'm not fond of the GfWL game installer app. I had numerous problems getting PoP to work. It eventually did, though, but I had to reinstall Windows. For some reason I had Windows installed on N: and GfWL had absolute cow! Of course, it consumes space on C because all files should be installed there. Heaven forbid you have a SSD or small fast SCSI hard drive as the root of Windows. http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-us/community/Pages/dealoftheweek.aspx
Of course, being Ubi, the software was DRMed to heck with Tages, which seems reasonable - so long as those servers exist. (at least not UbiDRM)
I'd recommend waiting for the [Hot Air/Water] Christmas Sale, as it is usually the same price, and you may not have have as much trouble installing. Of course, it will demand to install where ever steam is installed.
