while i am content to wait, i think the obvious reason would be "not needing to wait 2 years"

Anyone who really wanted to play this that badly probably played it on 360 already. Anyone who is waiting to play it will probably be disappointed since the game is already dated.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Everyone knew it was coming, just like halo 1 and halo 2 did.

cough.. I win? I think so. Windows NT 3.1 I think was just a development stage and never used same with 3.5.
I thought Halo3/PC was basically a foregone conclusion.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Home Server, and Windows Server 2008 are based upon the Windows NT system, although they are not branded as Windows NT.
Partial MS-DOS compatibility was achieved via an integrated DOS Virtual Machine.
When Windows 3.0 was released in May 1990, it was eventually so successful that Microsoft decided to change the primary application programming interface for the still unreleased NT OS/2 (as it was then known) from an extended OS/2 API to an extended Windows API. This decision caused tension between Microsoft and IBM and the collaboration ultimately fell apart. IBM continued OS/2 development alone while Microsoft continued work on the newly renamed Windows NT. Though neither operating system would immediately be as popular as Microsoft's DOS or Windows products, Windows NT would eventually be far more successful than OS/2.
Microsoft hired a group of developers from Digital Equipment Corporation led by Dave Cutler to build Windows NT, and many elements of the design reflect earlier DEC experience with Cutler's VMS and RSX-11.

By me:
So, we've derailed this thread into a technological pissing contest that no one understands.
Fun.
Let's get back to Halo 3 for PC topic, not all the OS battling. If that's the case, take this to the PC forum, hell, it needs the attention.

And how long are 360 owners going to wait for Diablo 3? Starcraft 2? Dragon Age: Origins? The Sims 3? SPORE? Warhammer Online? etc.... Exactly.
While PC is waiting for Halo 3 and Gears of War 2, we are getting:
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
-Battlefield Heroes
-Quake Live
-Crysis
-Crysis Warhead
-Zeno Clash
While PC is waiting for Fable 2, we are playing:
-Dragon Age: Origins
-The Witcher
-Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer
-Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir
-Lord of the Rings Online
-Warhammer Online
See where I'm going? The people who use the "not need to wait 2 years", it's a bad excuse.
It will get very little hype and advertising, will most likely require Vista, and will be out on the 360 for 2 years, and will probably not get any noticeable upgrades.
Halo 3 will most likely get lost in the pile of newer and better shooters that are coming out for the PC.

Didn't the PC releases of H1 and H2 both included new multiplayer maps?
