The Graphics Device Interface (GDI), which is part of the Graphics, Windowing and Events Subsystem (GWES) provides basic hardware-independent graphics support for Windows CE applications. The graphics technologies listed below allow you to deliver high levels of graphics performance by taking advantage of the dedicated graphics hardware on your device, including support for hardware accelerated 2-D and 3-D graphics and GDI functions that require specialized graphics hardware.

Some of these technologies allow you to emulate API calls that are not supported in hardware. When you are planning your OS design, you should remember that almost any software emulation comes with a significant performance penalty.
