windows programs output text and graphics data to a logical device,known as device context or 'DC'. Then the conversion from the DC to a real device , such as video screen or printer is done by the windows. The advantage of using the DC is that the graphics and text commands you send to the DC are always the same, regardless of whether the physical output is shown on the VGA screen,IBM 8514 video device, printer,etc.

What is key difference between a trap and interrupt?
An interrupt is generally initiated by an I/O device, and causes the CPU to stop what it's doing, save its context, jump to the appropriate interrupt service routine, complete it, restore the context, and continue execution. For example, a serial device may assert the interrupt line and then place an interrupt vector number on the data bus. The CPU uses this to get the serial device interrupt service routine, which it then executes as above.A trap is usually initiated by the CPU hardware. When ever the trap condition occurs (on arithmetic overflow, for example), the CPU stops what it's doing, saves the context, jumps to the appropriate trap routine, completes it, restores the context, and continues execution. For example, if overflow traps are enabled, adding two very large integers would cause the overflow bit to be set AND the overflow trap service routine to be initiated.
