To be fair: Microsoft *does* ship OpenGL with all their operating systems, along with a driver model into which OEM video card manufacturers can hook accelerated drivers. Now, they don't give it the love that they do with Direct3D, and in fact haven't updated the interface since OpenGL 1.1 around 1999. Using newer functions requires indirecting through the wglGetProcAddress() mechanism. But it is there, it does work, and lots of shipping software uses it. It's not likely to go away any time soon.
