The clients are the same.  I redownloaded it.  I think there's a way to add the original install to your steam library, but I didn't bother.  I launch it from the desktop to log in to my ArenaNet account and launch it from Steam to play the F2P Steam account.

There's no Steam achievements for the Steam version though so if that's the only reason you want to buy the Steam version, you might want to reconsider.  When you want to apply gems or any DLCs to your Steam account, you have to pay using the Steam Wallet.  You cannot use gem cards.

There was a thread awhile ago that uninstalling the steam version also uninstalled the old version aswell.

And you will have to start all aover on steam mate you cant link your old account.

The Steam version will not allow you to link to a Guild Wars 1 account and get Hall of Monuments rewards. If you care about these, you should use the ArenaNet client.
