We should also compare it to CoreGraphics, of course.

Since Direct2D will only be available on Windows 7 and later (and on Windows
Vista with an optional update), we'd need to be able to fall back to different
rendering path at runtime. Also, CoreAnimation has dependencies on
CoreGraphics, so we'd probably need to keep CoreGraphics around even on Windows
7 and later.
