Just go and see who developed and promotes the use of direct3d. Then go seek open source solutions and come to the same conclusion as I have. OpenGL kicks D3D's arse.

OpenGL was stable and fully matured when D3D still needed to have its nappies changed regularly. I can really see no legitimate, sound reason why D3D was created, which makes me thing even more that it is just a ploy to choke people into using Windows eternally. And I usually dont bother with paranoid MS conspiracy theories Slipgate - Smile

Direct3D sucks.  It's a Microsoft API.  That's reason enough.

D3D is (at the moment) more powerful than OGL and the D3D version of FreeSpace 2 Open doesn't crash on startup. Of course, either of these could change at any time...

OpenGL doesn't either.  Besides, who would want to use a computer as a toaster?

I've seen a PC that makes coffee, so why not a toaster?
