Hosting halo games does not draw that much from a processing unit. If you think Microsoft can't plan for the 1/2 million or so people that will come out the day of release, you're kidding yourself.

Hosting capabilities will obviously be necessary on individual boxes for LAN, etc., but dedicated servers need to happen for matchmaking. Customs can still be hosted on individual boxes.

If they release it on Vista at the same time people can setup dedicated servers using spare PC's or rent them from game server companies.
