Yep. That's why I recommend it over DirectDraw. Plus you can rotate, alphablend, do lighting and 3D shadows on 2D polygons, etc.

cool features.. i will do it must poeple support it nowadays anyway so it gonna be good

I believe when it is completely off screen though (where you can't see it at all) it doesn't get drawn. This is good because if you have 1000's of polygons being drawn, you don't want the ones you can't see drawn anyways. I just didn't like the fact that DirectDraw eliminates drawing a surface when only part of it is off screen.
