Re: Dell's XPS 15 laptop out-retinas Apple MacBook Pro

If Microsoft thinks the scaling metro ui is the answer to this problem linux, and Apple will find themselves more popular from Microsoft's laziness.

If they are smart they'll do something, like they had to introduce cleartype for lcd screens, but it may not appear in any of their current operating systems. 3rd party software is generally the biggest problem here once again, but all they have to do is change their dpi to 150% then use their own software to make sure there is no problems. Software with fixed window sizes, and the operating systems variable fonts is already a failure.

DPI Scaling FAIL
How about all of the windows desktop versions since NT/9x, specific enough? The scaling hasn't changed in all this time, and without any modification like dpi changes, windows at 3200x1800 would have really really really tiny text by default with a screen size of 15".
