Call to Action: Ensure that OpenGL remains a first class API under Windows Vista

Microsoft's current plan for OpenGL on Windows Vista is to layer OpenGL over Direct3D in order to use OpenGL with a composited desktop to obtain the Aeroglass experience. If an OpenGL ICD is run - the desktop compositor will switch off - significantly degrading the user experience.

Damn straight, I hope everyone gets on this band wagon. And its not for games either, CAD/CAM depends on OpenGL as well. |
