Well one thing is clear this shows us that OpenGL2 seems to be finally off the desk if Nvidia now starts to introduce their own stuff they don't seem to put much effort and trust into OpenGL2 and its comunity. Which doesn't suprise me much. But a standard without one of the most important manufactur is very likely to fail.
