No no, that would be Microsoft around '99. Apple is just trying to do the same as microsoft did over 20 years ago.
SGI and microsoft were in api-war between OpenGL and Direct3D (and the boids examples ha!). They started a collaboration to create 'Fahrenheit' (lowlevel) and Fahrenheit (XSG) Extensible Scene Graph. Microsoft was sandbagging, and simply working on Direct3D, bc of opportunity. Bc microsoft was still evil back then bc they had more power.
As far as I always understood, is that OpenGL and whatever was left of Fahrenheit and the coop became the Khronos group.
