This doesn't say you shouldn't use it in an ASP.NET application. This
says you shouldn't use it in a service. It includes Windows services.

It also doesn't say it'll blow up if you do, just reduce the performance
of the service and cause runtime exceptions.

Typically services are light code that need to do a job fast and
efficiently. To increase performance services are often excluded from
using graphic resources although you can create a service which has
access to the desktop which then enables it to use such services.

If your service is excluded from using the desktop then any graphics
usage will throw an exception.

The message is perhaps a bit strong for a caution warning but no big deal.
