- tsemple 12y agoWhen Vista first came out, Microsoft forced OpenGL to be a layer above DirectX. But they pretty quickly backed down and let people build direct OpenGL drivers again.
- snarfy 12y agoAh, this is where I got it from. I didn't realize they changed it back.
- runeks 12y agoYeah, I know this is true for the AMD driver, at least. Their Catalyst ("fglrx") OpenGL implementation is shared between Linux and Windows, with a fairly low-level wrapper for each OS.
