'OpenType support' means a number of different things. Support for the font file format and rasterisation of the TT or CFF outlines is widespread, including Windows, OSX (native), earlier Mac systems (CFF only, using ATM), and implementations of FreeType. Support for individual OpenType Layout typographic features varies from application to application. Support for script shaping features and character-level pre-formatting, e.g. for Indic scripts, is supported in Windows apps that use Uniscribe for text processing, and I believe the FreeType developers have also been working on Indic shaping although I am not sure if this has been released yet.
