So then the line in the sand (so to speak) is whether or not the graphics
card (driver) supports OpenGL to it's full extent? Yes? No?
If there is not good support for OpenGL on the host machine, then
Java's OpenGL pipeline will fail? Yes? No?
So then this is not about the OS as earlier stated. It's about
support for OpenGL by the graphic card's driver? Yes? No?

The OpenGL pipeline uses OpenGL and does not use DirectX at all. Because of
this fact its able to work on so many operating systems whereas the D3D
pipeline is limited to Windows-Systems only.
