Nothing's forcing you to use that desktop. There's another desktop that
doesn't use DirectX. I don't recall ever saying it's a good thing.
How is that not trying to kill it? Who wants to use the old desktop
when there is a newer flashier version? End users don't want the old,
they want the new, and the new doesn't support up to date OpenGL. if
OpenGL isn't supported to its newest versions, is slower, etc, who
would say to users, "Um, you gotta turn off the newest stuff, enable
the old desktop, just to play our game and have good performance."
I see Microsoft doing what they do best, pushing their own standards
on the rest of the world, all packaged up in their OS. And you know
what? Yes, this is the best thing to do if your Microsoft. It is also
very bad for competition
