This is interesting. MS is shipping Direct2D and DirectWrite. Basically it's a vector API on top of Direct3D and a new font API. Sounds similar to Quartz 2D ,Cairo (+fontconfig) - or the Qt equivalent, and OpenVG.
Finally MS decided to give something better than GDI+ to developers which don't use .NET and WPF.
