Windows API would be similar to X11, where you just specify 
everything in pixels and toolkits building on top of it manually 
do all the recomputations and layout policies, not the UI server. 
And then it's still not simple: with small font you can put a lot 
of information into a window, which simply won't fit with bigger 
font size, in this case web gets scrolled naturally, while native 
UI clunks interface and truncates strings trying to fit it into 
the window.
