OpenGL

(stub)

Device-independent API for dealing with 3d accellerated graphics hardware. Co-developed by Microsoft, that company has all but abandoned the platform, preferring instead the Windows-proprietary DirectX platform over the OS-agnostic OpenGL.

Unix and Linux have kept OpenGL alive. Mac OS X, for example, uses it for all of its fancy eye-candy, like Dashboard and Quartz.
