DX is a microsoft proprietary technology, it can be used only on PCs running windows and xbox. OGL is, well, open, so can be used in native linux apps too. DX>>OGL as OGL is like 20 years old.

What? You mean OpenGL right?dheeraj_kumar said:
DX is more accepted because M$ is backing it up. Look at OpenGL, it works on virtually every platform.
20 years old, so? DX is also around 15...

DX is favoured because not only MS's backing, but also because microsoft-powered devices (pcs, xbox) are more dominant in the market.
