As far as I have heard Micro$oft has not released newer than 1.1 version of OGL libraries. So, is there really a point of developing in GL under windows if you cannot functions provided by 1.2, 1.3 versions?

you can use OpenGL 1.3 functionality, refer to your video card vendors developer website....

Even if the OpenGL library on the system only supports 1.1, you can access 1.2 and 1.3 functionality through extensions as long as the driver actually supports the higher version number.
I've written some code to simplify the whole thing:
