Windows is Microsoft's product. Is it wrong for Microsoft to make it easier for game developers to make games for Windows platform using an easier Windows optimised API called DirectX?
Is Microsoft stopping game developers from using OpenGL & making games on Windows?
Lets see, this was said in 1991, 1995, 1999, 2993 & now with OpenGL 3.0 specification.
Yup, so? DirectX is also supported by all gfx card manufacturers. Oh & by the way, OpenGL copied unified shader architecture in OpenGL 2.1 from DirectX 10 if U don't know.
What freedom? If a game developer wants to make a game for Windows, they prefer DirectX cos it means less development work, means savings of resources & money. If they go OpenGL way for Windows that means they first have to make the base game, then optimise the game for Windows platform too...means more use of money. Which one do u justify from a business point of view.
I am an Atheist
....& no Bill Gates is an Idol...not god. What mind locked are u talking about? Windows works best for me the way I want it to work, why should I switch if I can pay for it?yeah,I know arguing with @imav is like arguing with a pathetic schizophreniacget lost!
Mind your language, this might get u banned. Thread reported. You were the one who started this here...

Hey, I will not take any blame this time Ok. Prakash has no idea what & how to post & where. i was explaining to everyone that this is just a sepculation but he started his stupid posts again.....bashing MS for no reason when he has no idea that it was MS due to which the Windows Compatible part of OpenGL was made in 1993.
Well, No flame please, Microsoft is doing yeoman service to the mankind, particularly to the open source enthusiasts as its recent actions..think it, in any business environment, near or complete monopoly is impossible even your products is far superior to others.. But Microsoft achieved the feat and maintained the position, still maintaining it, not simply becasuse of its superior products, but also the support provided by the thousands of hardware firms, and millions of gaming enthusiates all over the world.. now it start to believe that it is God, and its decision had to be respected by all ..I agree, Microsoft has every right to modify its products to suit its needs,but in the process, by not disclosing its upgrading plans to earlier, millions who have bought the DX10. compatible machines by paying kings ransom, now again left in lurch.. So it is good for the Linux community as more and more users are turning towards Linux.. What RMS and Linus Torwald struggle to achieve for the past 15 years has been in one month itself by MS.. for this Praka 123 should thank MS and iMav .. Let us eagerly wait for DX10.2 in short times.
Thanking you,
Vaithy
Thanking you,

OH!Welcome-I dont want anybodies support?eh?go kiddo!get a life. really?I dont swear anytime that i have to stay here.
these 3 Mo*ons(May i tell their names?) are the main reason Linux or Mac users losting their patience.I know these ppl may be patriotic to Microsoft.that doesnot means to show other OS and Projects like OpenGL are inferior.where did they get the idea?also Direct X is a sure loss is what is called vendor lock-in.enjoy!!!

Pollute? Where, who bought the name of Evil MS in this thread? We didn't say a word about Linux, but u started your pointless post about MS & DirectX. If you don't know about something better not talk about it.
You are the one making it figut club troll. We were just talking about DirectX here.
Nobody welcomed u here, plz leave.
Did we take the name of Linux/Mac even once in this thread before you came?
Who said anything about OpenGL being inferior. Both DirectX & OpenGL has flaws so yeah both are inferior to each other. Its not like since OpenGL is open source it is bugless
also Direct X is a sure loss is what is called vendor lock-in.enjoy!!!
If a graphics card supports DirectX 10, it automatically supports OpenGL 2.1, where is vendor lock-in? I wanna play a game & my gfx card can play both DX & OpenGL game in Windows, but on Linux I can only play OpenGL games......what about crysis, FEAR etc

Shantanu, we were simply discussing & I informed everyone that unless MS makes a statement, don't believe in speculations. It was prakash who came here & started bashing.

@shantanu: i take offense to the adjectives used by prakash:
me, gx, goobi, arya have a little fights but we dont cross the lines we hav some mutual understanding amongst us unlike prakash .... who does nothing other than just giving links links and more links
if u remmber i used to point out every thread hi-jacked by the lin boys ... we post in the mac section coz we are also mac users ....

Microsoft’s DirectX lead program manager has set the record straight on reports that DX10.1 will render the current crop of DX10-compatible hardware “obsolete.”
Microsoft’s Sam Glassenberg told Next-Gen in a phone interview, “DX10.1 fully supports DX10 hardware. No hardware support is being removed….It’s strictly a superset. It’s basically an update to DX10 that extends the hardware functionality slightly.”
He said that the update is similar to what Microsoft did with DX9. “We did make updates to [DX9] that extended the supported feature set.
“All the hardware is still supported, all the games still run, all the features are still there, we’ve just simply extended the feature set and the lifetime of the API,” he said.

OpenGL is not opensource, OpenGL has nothing to do with being opensource afaik . Correct me if i am wrong.
Parka is just frustrated (Make him a mod and he will start to behave, i am sure
