Well, since GDI+ will be pushed to the background in favor of the new
presentation system in Windows Vista, I would be surprised if there
were any changes for GDI+.

I wouldn't hold my breath.

Bah.

Guess I'll just have to live with the CPU getting pegged at 100% on forms
resizes until it's time to play the migration game again.
