Is Graphics really in the Windows kernel? I think GDI.EXE runs in user mode.

-> From Martin Knoblauch <[email protected]> :
GDI.EXE was moved into the kernel in winNT 4.0 and has been there ever
since. M$ released a white paper about this claiming the "performance
boost". worked great for me, but was one more thing to go wrong in kernel
space, although they touched on that as well.
it'd take me a bit to find a refernce or link for you, but i remember it
well.. ;)
