OpenGL

Will OpenGL ever be able to compete with the likes of DirectX 10?  I would like to see less games rely on DirectX, but progress in the open community seems lacking.

Oh, no, DirectX does indeed have it's own DRM subsystem.  I don't remember the details, but DX10 doesn't even allow DMA and is CONSTANTLY revalidating every connection.  There are so many restrictions in the DX10 API that nearly half of your processing time is spent working on DRM bullshit or idling waiting on DRM bullshit instead of getting shit done.
