The GAPI DLL continues to be less than 10K in size and is very efficient for doing what it does. Moreover, the DLL has been included with the Pocket PC/WinMo platform for so long some developers have come to expect it to be there. This will only cause headaches for some people. Microsoft has also pulled, for example, their MFC DLL for CE 3.0 and have subsequently put it back into the platform. Of course, manufacturers can always drop gx.dll back into the platform if they so choose. I just think this is a silly decision :) I think this is a silly decision.
