Enhanced metafiles are just a serialisation of Win32 GDI commands. That

does not emphasise them much because they won't do a good job with GDI+
rendering and probably won't work at all with WPF. Thus it is a legacy
format, one which was largely used by Microsoft for OLE2, which is
itself in decline and being deemphasised, because nobody could ever get
it to work well.


Thanks, Oliver. Your explanation makes sense.
