    Not true. Joakim Sindholt is working on the open source Direct3D 9 state tracker _for Linux_ (the VMWare's one works only on Windows) and I think it's a matter of time until someone else starts working on other versions of Direct3D.

    Do they have a deal with Microsoft to have some NDA documentation of the Direct3D API to help with their implementation?

    If so, then this explain why the state tracker cannot be open-sourced

    Hm. Not that much of a surprise. Still...VMWARE, I AM DISAPPOINT.

    I agree with Zack, though: we really should support OpenGL. Therefore, I for one will not purchase any games that are tied to Windows.

    Phoronix: Direct3D State Tracker Will Not Be Open-Source

    Zack Rusin of VMware announced the other day that they are working on a DirectX 10/11 state tracker. This caused quite a discussion in our forums and now Zack has clarified his remarks...
