IceStorm,
MS has intended for years that the NT architecture would be their only platform, games and all. Win9X was extended for another generation mainly because of delays with W2k. Do you know that Dreamcast and the new MS Games Console are based on DX running on the NT Kernel. Where do you think that technology came from?
OpenGL games have always been faster on NT than Win9X (Matrox excepted), so I see no reason to believe that won't extend to DX on W2k. Important (OpenGL) game developers are on the record saying that NT(4!) is not only their preferred development platform, but their preferred gaming one as well.
