MS Game Studios: Halo 2 for PC Release Date is 08/05/07
Halo 2 from Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios will be released on 08/05/2007 exclusively on Windows Vista - over a year after it was announced for PC, and two and a half years after it was released on XBOX. UK Gamers: Amazon UK has a pre-order date of 30/05/2007.

The highly anticipated title brings Master Chief to Windows Vista and is the first title to incorporate the new Games for Windows — LIVE service. Windows Vista gamers will be able to challenge each other in PC-to-PC multiplayer matches and earn achievements for the first time in the “Halo” franchise, as well as communicate via voice or text with other Xbox LIVE or Games for Windows — LIVE members. The visually enhanced classic includes an all-new Map Editor, which will allow for new content and greater game customization. “Halo 2” will be playable with mouse and keyboard or the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows.

Halo was a good game!! I liked it very much... but if Microsoft thinks that Halo 2 can convince users to buy Vista, that's a pathetic marketing ploy!!!

ya dirty trick of MS.
Not entirely true. Of course they could have made it for XP too. However, the game uses some of Vista's new features. You don't have to install the game anymore. You insert the disc and you can load the game, just as a console, while the setup silently installs the game in the background.
