Nice job keeping on topic with my post, lol.

But Origin is EA's new Steam clone that came out a week ago. It's essentially an update to the EA download manager to make it perform like Steam. Kotaku and Joystiq reported on it a day before it came out, but then they went silent on it, saying EA would have more info. And I've yet to see much about it since its been out.
