How much can you do with the GDI?
In game programming we have DX and GL, how much can you do with the native GDI however?
Could you create a full AAA FPS shooter for example, or has this functionality not been added.

GDI and GDI+ are classed as 'legacy' at best, I would not spend much if any time learning them.
