Jeff: Game developers moving to OpenGL.

Don't let your own involvement in OpenGL blinker you. I recently saw a list of OpenGL games coming out. There weren't many (mostly iD licensees.)

You're right that some OpenGL functions will end up in D3D, but I doubt that'll touch off a whole-scale movement toward OpenGL. And such a move certainly hasn't started yet. Not enough 3D accelerators have good OpenGL support, for one thing. Maybe in a few years it will have its chance.
