Can anyone explain the differences in OpenGL 1.4/5 and 2.0?

OpenGL 1.4 is nothing different than 2.0? I find that hard to believe. Does anyone have any actual answers?

In simple terms, most of the changes involved incorporating into the core API some functions previously available only through extentions. This will make it easier for the devlopers, but not much difference for the consumers. Basically, if a card supports OpenGL 1.5 in hardware, then it will support 2.0 with the appropriate driver updates.
