HomeLAN Fed's Halo PC Q&A talks with both Bungie's Michel Bastien and Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford about the upcoming PC version of Halo. Here's a bit from Randy that helps explain why this port has taken so long:

We got the net code up to speed by starting over and re-writing it. Halo for Xbox was not designed to be played over the internet – we spent nearly half of our time on network programming and we think it’s going to be well worth the investment. What do you think?

Personally, I think it's far too late to bother with Halo for the PC. I mean, if it had been last year, sure, I would have strongly considered picking it up. Year before that, hell ya, I would have gotten it. But since I've played the living hell out of it on the Xbox in many a fragfest, and beaten the single player over and over by now, no way am I gonna go run out and buy it for the PC years after it came out for the Xbox just so I can play online. whoopitydoo!

Now, if they can get thier butts in gear, and get a PC release of Halo2 out sometime in the same quarter as the Xbox release, I'll be all over that like white on rice. (I'm not gonna be stupid, and hope they release a PC version of it at the same time as the Xbox version, but I would like to see it in less than 6 months after the Xbox release, not 2 1/2 years later.)
