I can't confirm it, but someone on the steam forum said he'd been playing it. He also said Team Fortress 2 worked. You shouldn't have problems playing on both OSes. I've played BFBC2 on both.

Encountering problems:
Borderlands - Fails to Launch
The Lord of the Rings Online - Impossible to launch. Always displays the Enable .NET Framework 3.5.1 window, even though it is successfully enabled already. Once Accept Changes, and finish is pressed nothing ever actually opens.
Puzzlequest - Crash to desktop from Black screen at launch
Torchlight - Black Screen and Visual C++ Runtime Crash
Trine - The launcher gets stuck in Not Responding state for around 30-60 seconds, but if you wait it will continue past that and work. Clicking on anything in the launcher such as Advanced will set it back into a Not Responding state for another 30 to 60 seconds.

The following sub-systems were verified to work while testing the above game list:
Microsoft VC Redist
DirectX
OpenAL
Bink
Havok
PhysX
Unity Launcher
Flash 10
