I hope you updated all that to D2D. I was always deeply offended you forced office to move with Universal but had the gall to link GDI in and keep using it for your own stuff :).
That part comes next ;) Getting all of the rendering calls isolated to one component was a pretty big task in itself, and just isolating and de-duplicating them improved our rendering perf by something like 30%
Your efforts are noticeable and appreciated! It was always a mystery to me why the Windows console was stuck in time from the NT days, and your work sends a signal to all those doing sysadmin and programming work that Microsoft is supporting these use cases in Windows.
