Jonathan,

Microsoft implemented System.Windows.Forms as a thin wrapper on top of
the Win32 API not on top of System.Drawing like we are doing (that's
because we call our implementation managed). Most of Microsoft SWF
controls are native and these ones do not use GDI+.

I hope that this helps to clarify.

Jordi,
