However, then Steam is probably going to want to download the game from their servers, which may take a while. If the game will give you the CD key, or your friend has the key with him, you could log into a Steam account and redeem it, thereby giving him access to the Steam edition. Happily, Borderlands is one of the games on that list. The major exceptions to this are games that either only use Steamworks (ie, Civilization 5) and games that Steam will accept CD keys from, which is limited to games on this list. From just a binary standpoint, there's typically no way to convert the "Retail" (ie, non-Steam) edition of a game to the Steam variant. The Steam version of a game is actually built differently in order to rely on Steamworks DRM instead of CD checks or other varieties of copy protection.
