It's pretty stunning that Microsoft would so blatently cripple OpenGL like this. It puts ATI And Nvidia in a tough position. I think it even puts John Carmack in a bad situation. How far can they keep pushing OpenGL now that Microsoft has taken a stance against it? Fighting Microsoft is often a losing battle - they are incredibly powerful in the marketplace and usually get what they want, one way or another.
It's a stunning defeat for OpenGL.
