Microsoft This article by Shane Schick looks at changes Steve Ballmer should consider making at Microsoft now that Bill Gates is out the door. A couple of the most interesting: making user education a priority and establishing an open source project.

why to deviate from openGL


because directx is cleaner, faster, and more stable

Are you serious? Opengl is used far more than directx in real mission critical applications that range from medical previz to computer animation packages. It far more stable far cleaner than directx. You've been drinkng way too much of the MS Koolaid. Don't let game developers tell you otherwise. MS has built a great platform for game development on the xbox, but that doesn't make directx cleaner and more stable. The other console makers use opengl as the basis for their toolkits and while their toolset may not be as complete as MS's offering, opengl is as clean and as stable as they come, and platform agnostic to boot. Spewing crap like this makes me think you're an MS shill.
