It seems that MS is going to kill OpenGL support on its future platform (codenamed Vista). Don’t wanna make advocacy but in my opinion it’s not a technical reason and it will help to kill 3D graphics interoperability and put obstacles to the rise of Linux as a gaming platform. Not too much to say, the usual stuff from MS headquarters. Hope Vista will be a gigantic flop

update: Francesco Carucci (a computer graphics developer for an english company) reveal the truth about these facts. He say that in Vista OpenGL will be built upon DX10 and hence will be hardware accelerated by default.
