I would like to reiterate that Aurora will not specify the back-end, so it  
will not OpenGL or DirectX, or any API centric. The intention is a  
high-level API that can use any renderer that meets some basic  
requirements. There is nothing technically wrong with DirectX on Windows  
and unlike OpenGL which requires manufacturer provided drivers, it's  
guaranteed to be available.
