You can get the renderer name, if it is MS, then it is software mode…

some code:
hdc = wglGetCurrentDC();
hglrc = wglCreateContext (hdc); // create a rendering context
wglMakeCurrent (hdc, hglrc); // make it the calling thread’s current rendering context
printf("Vendor=%s
",glGetString(GL_VENDOR));
printf("Renderer=%s
",glGetString(GL_RENDERER));
printf("Version=%s
",glGetString(GL_VERSION));
printf("GL_extensions=%s
",glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS));
wglDeleteContext(hglrc);
Hope that helps a bit.

In the flags section of the Pixel Format Descriptor given by windows, there are two flags that you can use to find out if it is accelerated. If neither of PFD_GENERIC_ACCELERATED or PFD_GENERIC_FORMAT is set, then it is fully accelerated (ICD). If only GPD_GENERIC_ACCELERATED is set, then it is partialy accelerated (MCD). Anything else, and it is software.
