Windows 10 beta smokes Windows 7 outside the business market.

OSX does not use the Linux kernel.

You 'think' W7 support will be largely irrelevant but I beg to differ.

Would it have been pointless if they were to program it for regular OpenGL ?

They will support it,
Vulkan is going to be the direct successor of OpenGL 4.5.

Half-Life maker Valve has unveiled Steam Link, the Source 2 engine, and more, at the Game Developers Conference today.

Steam Link will enable game streaming from Steam Machines, PC, Mac, and Linux PC within a network.

Valve revealed the Source 2 engine, a successor to the Source engine which powered games such as Counter-Strike and Half Life 2. Source 2 has been made with a focus on "increasing creator productivity." Source 2 will be free to content developers, allowing "gamers themselves to participate in the creation and development of their favorite games." It will be compatible with Vulkan, the name of the graphics API Valve teased earlier this month.

I don't trust this at all with Roy being the source, when it's all boiled down.

But if it is true, Vulkan is going to get a huge boost over DX12 being the first one out, and having it's first game be a title like GTA V, when DX12's first title is expected to be that Fable whatever, which is looking kinda meh.

As I recall the supporters during the Vulkan reveal and various tech talks were Epic, Unity, Oxide, Valve, and DICE. It's a pretty impressive cast of promoters right out of the gate.

:not sure if serious:

Either way, this is what you guys get from reading too much into what Roy Taylor says/tweets.

The guy just can't be taken seriously, never, ever, ever....

NVIDIA cards (Fermi and newer, likely) will have Vulkan support.

Nvidia have been working closely with Khronos to build NexGen OpenGL. I am sure they will definitely support it.
Beside that, Kepler does support DX12, you shouldn't face any problem.

Edit: Nvidia has always been forward when it comes to OpenGL.
