This isn't really true, it went like this:
Microsoft says it will implement it ui in dx10, thus making it impossible to
directly support OpenGL in a window.
Media hears about this and claims microsoft will drop OpenGL support.
OpenGL would be supported like wine handles dx from the beginning: Its not
an emulator :D
So yes it is technically impossible to let OpenGl work in a window like in
xp.
