That it lingers a bitter taste in your mouth is a good example of how 
microsoft is looked at :)
How does 'making everything work nicely even though they didn't have to' 
make you think they were willing to make OpenGL a 2th class citizen?
The whole confusion started when microsoft announced the use of dx10 for the 
ui and people expecting they would probably drop OpenGL as this seemed the 
easiest option for microsoft.
You can't expect them to use OpenGL as obviously microsoft thinks dx10 is 
best..
And in the end it still doesn't work like in XP: it is like wine does dx: 
translating all calls.
