Well you would have to define "biased" here. If you knew me, you would=20
know how much I loved OpenGL. And I gave links to the OpenGL forums=20
where lots of 3D programmers used to use OGL did complain, and where I=20
still post and help people, to support my point.

And my previous message about OGL-ES was serious : we only need this=20
interface plus some addition/extension to match D3D10+ feature set and=20
to get rid of the obsolete calls. It would probably be an easier start=20
for lots of people, driver-makers would have a much easier life, etc.

Actually what we really need is having the ARB stop discussing forever=20
in closed committee, telling one thing, shutting up 1 year and a half=20
then doing the contrary, and things like that. =3D(
