GDI+ is not a widgetset at all. It is a drawing library that provides
antialiasing, image scaling, etc. It is also not an extension to GDI -
it uses its own incompatible API.
GDI+ was introduced in Windows XP. Although it works on older
systems by copying gdiplus.dll, this is, to my knowledge, not officially
supported.
Btw, GDI-without-plus is also not a widgetset but a drawing library.
It is contained in gdi32.dll, while widgetset-related API is in
user32.dll.
