If GDI or another component of the Windows windowing system has a problem it's a Windows issue.
GDI isn't part of the Windows kernel. If it had been Linux, you and the rest of the trolls would insist that the package wasn't a part of Linux. It was just some "incidental piece of code". That's the same crap that you guys pull with WU-FTPD or Apache: "Oh, no! It's not Linux! It's not the OS!" But God help Microsoft when an exploit is found in IIS. "Freaking Windows! Buggy crap! Lousy OS!" See how the game is played? Linux: Deflection. Windows: Body slam.

Oh yeah, that would mean Linux is the kernel because there is another platform called GNU/HURD. You obviously aren't intelligent enough to see that the products you're talking about are made by separate teams for multiple kernels, linux being only one of them. In no way is XFree86 dependent on Linux such that it won't run equally well if not better on another UNIX kernel. Same for KDE, GNOME, Apache, etc.
