| In the current implementation (as of 2005-09-22) of the OpenGL
| graphics library in Windows Vista - a soon to be released new version of
| the Microsoft Windows operating system, OpenGL is not a stand alonelibrary.
| Instead it functions as a wrapper around DirectX, and is frozen to the
| vanilla version of OpenGL 1.4.
|
| This means that OpenGL applications in Windows Vista will, most
| likely, suffer from severe performance loss, that, when an OpenGL driveri
| s loaded, the Windows operating system will have odd behaviours andt
| hat future versions of OpenGL will not affect the Windows Vista
| platform. This would result in less developers actively supportingO
| penGL, and as a result, less applications written which are easy to
| port to another platform or easy to maintain.
