Stewart Gilray dropped some interesting info on the Steam forums, related to SW and MO's HD remakes: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...8&postcount=12
:
We are still continuing to support PC, so much so that I'd like to announce here and now, that we WILL be releasing "Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD" on PC *AND* Mac later this year.

[...]

As you know we said we'd be releasing Stranger's Wrath HD on PC after the PS3 release. This is still the case and will be done as a title update, replacing the versions you already have. This is also true for Munch's Oddysee HD.

When we did the job on Stranger's Wrath we were given 5 months to do the work and did a pretty good job, but NOT the job we wanted to do, due to the time constraints, which is why we're offering EVERYONE the HD versions as a direct title update to the versions you have.

With regards to NEW PC titles, we are still supporting the PC, however we will be releasing console versions first, as we will be spending the time post console release updating the PC titles with extra features etc.
e: I asked a couple of questions about the HD update, here's Stewart's response: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...9&postcount=14
:
1. Yes Stranger will still be OpenGL, but we are making some alterations to it so that it's OpenGL ES and not full OpenGL, this SHOULD sort out Intel stuff.

2. MO will still be DX based.

3. We'd not thought of that, as that means we'd have to support both data sets, and as we're making some changes to the data itself for the HD versions, in terms of it's format etc. likely NOT. BUT don't worry, it shouldn't have ANY knock on affect on the performance as the original XBox data on both games.
