Have to give you a like for actually talking as opposed to using those terrible synthesized voices like some other channels. Thanks for the info :)

Fast Answer: A bunch of commands to communicate with the graphics card.

These commands are actually requests...because they go through another program called a driver - yes, the graphics card driver you installed.
The driver will do some automagic fascist stuff internally before it finally agrees to execute your requested hardware operation.

as far as i know Microsoft used OpenGL until windows XP, and then officially released DirectX on windows visa, while stop supporting OpenGL.
