GDI+ adds line smoothing, floating point coordinates, gradient shading, intrinsic support for modern graphics-file formats like JPEG and PNG, support for 2D matrix transformation, and so on. GDI+ uses ARGB values to represent color. These features are used in Windows XP user interface, and their presence in the basic graphics layer greatly simplifies implementations of vector-graphics systems such as Flash or SVG.

There are two architectural concepts: normalized data warehouses and dimensional data warehouses. Normalized data warehouses store data in subject-oriented tables of the third normal form: data marts. Normalized data warehouses are easy to create and manage. The main disadvantages of normalized warehouses is large amount of excessive information and difficulties with integrating data from several tables.
Dimensional warehouses use star or snowflake schemes. The centre of a star consists of data (fact table) and the dimensions form arms of the star. Different fact tables may use dimension tables together which greatly simplifies combining data from multiple fact tables (for example, fact of selling and delivering goods). Data tables and corresponding dimensions form bus architecture. To log dimension changes, the dimensions are often created in third normal form (slowly changing dimensions). The key advantage of dimensional warehouses is that they are easy to understand for developers and users. Due to effective method of data storage and formalized dimensions, the retrieval of data from the data warehouse tends to operate easier and quicker, especially when complex analysis is performed. The main disadvantages of the dimensional approach are complicated procedures of data preparation and loading; and difficult controlling and changing data dimensions.
