The architecture is more advanced and you may capitalise more and use most of the hardware resources you have efficiently that what you can do through 1.0 or 1.1 In fact you can see how the GDI and WinFS which changes the architecture of windows forms which hardly changed since the evolving of windows since Win3.0 The new windows forms are incorporated with directX and though… you are using more capabilities of your graphics card etc.
Good luck
