What do you all think about this? It's no big surprise but wouldnt you rather have Epic spend the resources on creating more 360 content rather than a PC port?

taken from You NEWB

Remember back when Mark Rein denied that Gears of War would be coming to the PC? Well, now we have official confirmation that Gears of War, the best selling Xbox 360 title, will be coming to a PC near you, and Mark himself was the one to confirm it. Just as it did with Halo, we all knew this would happen eventually, especially with certain pictures that were leaked not too far back , but it’s nice to finally have it official. Combine this with Halo 2 and its coming to PC, and you have a great way to push the Games for Windows initiative as well. So will this title be better on the PC, or do you still prefer your console experience over Live?

Mark Rein has stated that though Epic is a small company and has to concentrate efforts on Unreal right now, Gears on the PC is in the pipeline. It would seem all you PC guys have to do now is practice some patience; oh, and pray they don’t botch the controls. Then we can see whether or not the slow-paced tactical gameplay of Gears controls better with a keyboard and mouse or controller. Will the PC guys be able to handle active reload, along with the one-button-does-it-all action of the title?
