Yep, the new GTA is coming out for PC, unless I missed a story on that one?
There isn't one. Take Two have never said they were going to release a PC version (that's simply an assumption made by rabid fans), and with the XBox 360 version recuperating development costs on the first day of sales in the UK alone, there doesn't seem like much incentive to risk it.
They are always 18 months behind on PC but have higher resolutions, mod-able content, etc.
That's not entirely accurate. Bully for instance was never released on the PC, and prior to GTA: Vice City, all GTA games where released on the PC first.

Grand Theft Auto IV will be released for PC on 21st November in Europe, Rockstar announced today.
Pleasantly, that's just a few days after the PC version arrives in North America on 18th November.
Rockstar founder Sam Houser says it "looks and plays beautifully on PC and we can't wait for people to play it".
Seems I was right all along. :) Hope this cheers you up, Flameduck!!
