hmm, on my system (w2k, geforceFX5600, don't know which drivers), GLEW 
(or rather glewinfo) reports:
GL_APPLE_texture_range           MISSING

which seems pretty much ok to me.
and then: w32-drivers for my gfx-card might well support apple-specific 
extensions (although it is unlikely; i am just saying it is possible)

if glew says "YES" to every extension under the sun, then it is broken 
and a bug-report should be made (although i doubt that a bit - are you 
sure you initialized glew correctly (i stumbled across this very problem 
myself))

looking forward to see some glewified gem...
