MIT Hacks Harvard For Halo, Game Prompts Lots of Sick Days

yonari writes "Early on the morning before the Halo 3 release, John Harvard donned a Mjolnir helmet and a beaver emblem, and carried an assault rifle on his left shoulder, apparently acquired from the UNSC Engineering Division." The Washington Post also points out that a lot of folks took sick days on Tuesday as a consequence of the game's release. "Some local workers won't have to skip out on the office to play the game. At some companies that offer video games as a break room activity, Halo 3 was pre-ordered months ago. The Motley Fool, the Alexandria investment advisory firm, is expecting its copy of the game to arrive from Amazon.com soon. Same for Platinum Solutions, a Reston software consulting firm."

When will the Halo 3 PC port be released?

[Anonymous Coward]

When is the expected release date of the PC port of Halo 3?

If I buy a new PC for Halo 3, how would be the best way to use my multicore processor? Is there some way that I can run Windows on the same computer that I'm running Solaris to power my flower shop, and Linux for fun? What I want is for all three to be running at the same time. I could just install Windows, and then use VMWare to run Solaris and Linux over Windows. But I'd rather not do that. So what are my options? Would Xen allow me to do this?

Keep in mind that I want to be able to play hardcore games like Halo 3 on Windows, but I need Solaris to be running so I can continue selling flowers.

This has nothing to do with Sony, but if you ask me Warhawk's multiplayer is far more advanced than xbox live and their playermatching so uh yea.
