visual demo idea to shut up a mac developer?....

I'm porting a Mac application to window.
Regularly I have comment like that:

- (me): hum.. there is no shadow object in .NET's Graphic's object.
- (him): what? but that's standart (mac) stuff!!!

or

- (me): well, the default RichTextBox doesn't handle kerning (character
spacing).
- (him): what? but that standart feature of Text editor!

and that goes on......
that kind of irk me as well.

I'm thinking.. well and what about code security? nice introspection,
reflection & documented serialization? display control in a web page?
strongly typed code collection? exception? remoting? (DO is crap) memory
corruption free code? developer productivity?
But he might not even realized what I'm speaking of.... (and the last one he
said: ha, like java!)

Grrmmrrbll....
I wonder, does any one has any idea of a simple visual demo .NET to shut
this Mac gnagnagna?

well, we browse through all the controls to look for an idea..

yeah!!! Half Life 2!!!

Although it's a truly excellent idea I was thinking of something I could do
in but a few lines of code...

That's it!
I know!!!

I will draw text with a picture brush!

- (me): what's the command to draw with a picture brush (on Mac), I can't
find it?!
- (him): what? how d'you do that?!
- (me): what? but that's standart windows feature! since win3.1!

(next I do the demo with a path brush, mouhahaha)
