I'd like to note that there're still lots of video cards which are not
even 2.0 capable - e.g. intel video in my EEE PC 1015PN only supports
OpenGL 1.4 with ARB assembly shaders. Another example would be
(although quite old, but still working and actively supported by intel
in Mesa) i915G chipset, which has similar characteristics.
Also, if you try using Mesa 9.1+ with these, you'll get (exactly, not
higher than) OpenGL 2.1 advertised, but really giving you software
fallbacks every now and then.
So, I'd not like to have an office suite require OpenGL higher than
1.4 (it may use higher versions if they are available, but still not
require).
I'll add that I have literally just retired my old No 2 workstation
which had a Matrox Millenium or similar graphics card - and have also
re-purposed a Matrox G440. I don't know what OpenGL these are, but the
hardware is all Y2K era, and still working fine. I suspect that's older
than i915 (the processors are Socket A).
Cheers,
