 From what I can remember, it'll be the same as ever: you'll depend on 
ICDs provided by video card vendors. Low-end cards always had crappy 
support for OpenGL, and I doubt this will be any different with Vista. 
Check the "The Windows Vista Issue" at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct3D_vs._OpenGL

I personally don't understand all the fuss over it; is a "Direct3D to 
OpenGL 1.4" emulation any worse than the OpenGL 1.1 software renderer 
Microsoft provided with the previous versions?
