* Jeff is starting work on one of our quarterly goals, a scrolling interactivity benchmark. You can follow along in {{bug|527728}}.
* Bas has built upon his DirectWrite font backend, {{bug|517642}}, with a Direct2D cairo backend, {{bug|527707}}.
** Direct2D is a hardware-accelerated, quite Cairo-like API for Windows 7/Windows Vista, and it interoperates with Direct3D too.
** The Direct2D backend depends on DirectWrite for fonts because GDI can't write to hardware-accelerated contexts.
** This will be our second hardware-accelerated Cairo backend, after the OpenGL/DirectDraw backend used on the Tegra devices.
