iv actualy tried this on Haiku after watching this & it actualy works! i cant wait for Haiku to get past R1-A3, or atleast be more feature-complete & have more compadability.

OpenGL is the industry standard and it's available everywhere - from super-duper PC with 8Gb video card to mobile phones. DirectX is Windows only and OpenGL 4.2 -> DX11 in a few things.

@DMalenfant1 I'm glad that you have the ability to program for DirectX, but don't be indier than thou - the days of OpenGL as you know it are the past. Like every library, this one also has to evolve and as long as it doesn't catch up with what's going on in the industry, it's going to be rather "myeh" and only used as a secondary render for low-tier machines.

Not having DirectX support equals forfeiting profits from, among others, an XBox360 version of a given game. Moreover, DirectX has built-in support for teselated models, which cuts down development time and simply allows using more complex-looking models while cutting down the polycount - something OpenGL is yet to natively support.
-
@DMalenfant1 A serious video game development studio would never release a game that does not support DirectX nowadays. DirectX 11 has a serious upper-hand compared to OpenGL and is endorsed by both, AMD and NVidia - the only two gfx chip developers that "matter" on the market.

@Foxi4Qnet LOL what? I know what DirectX is dude and even know how to program in it. You should also know it is not well put together. Just because Microsoft was good at marketing their product does not mean it is the best or the only one. There is also openGL and I am pretty sure Nintendo and Sony use anything else but direct X.
So there you go.

@DMalenfant1 DirectX. It's in Windows. It's not in BeOS and there is no alternative to my knowledge. There you go.

I'm definitely trying this OS on my sister's slow-ass laptop. No Linux distro will run on it (they all freeze up during installation or don't recognize her hardware. I've tried them all - Lubuntu, Puppy Linux, and all other low-RAM distros)
Maybe Haiku OS might work on it? What's the hardware compatibility for Haiku OS is so far?
Game developers should look to make games for this OS. I am not saying it is the greatest OS, but if it can handle that, it should put MS in its place as far as games go.

Well, imagine if people said that when Linuas first released his kernel? This is in development. Let's just have an open mind to what it may become.
