That's a good question. Right now I'm writing an OpenGL wrapper for C# and  
it is most certainly true that you are stuck with OpenGL 1.4, emulated  
over Direct3d. It is annoying to no end since you are blocked from the  
real potential in opengl (and even more so since there are vista-ready  
drivers for my 9600Pro!)

I'll give AllegroGL a try. (I just hope it has become more stable since  
the 0.2.2 version when it hard-locked windows...)
