Why you should use OpenGL and not DirectX

,----[ Quote ]
| No self-respecting geek enjoys dealing with 
| closed-standard Word documents or Exchange 
| servers. What kind of bizarro world is this 
| where engineers are not only going crazy over 
| Microsoft's latest proprietary API, but 
| actively denouncing its open-standard 
| competitor?

The State Of OpenGL 3.x in Mesa Core

,----[ Quote ]
| While ATI R600 users only recently received
| OpenGL 2.0 hardware support within the open-
| source Radeon 3D stack and there is many more
| OpenGL extensions to be implemented just not
| for the ATI Mesa driver but the other DRI
| drivers as well, Brian Paul has published a
| document that lays out the current state of
| OpenGL 3.x within the classic Mesa core. This
| document lays out what core Mesa supports and
| not necessarily that any of the drivers are
| implementing the said support at this time.
| Granted, with Mesa not really being very
| performance-efficient at this time or capable
| of running most games, a majority of users
| will be waiting for the OpenGL 3.x state
| tracker for Gallium3D.
