Sorry, no real experience of either.

I'm guessing, but based on my previous experience of 
other GUIs, it will be a Device Context. A DC is a concept which 
tries to abstract the hardware used for graphics so that you 
can create the same graphic and display it on a screen or on 
a printer with minimal change. You just pass in the appropriate 
DC to the graphics functions. This is good for WYSIWYG type 
work, but can mean that "simple" priniting (eg text) is much more 
difficult than would normally be the case!
