After getting my Dell I think I posted in here to remind people how important it is to write apps that can "zoom" to suit your distance, resolution and how tired your eyes are. I found some of my own desktop apps looked like little ant farms on the Dell. Right then I decided that all XAML based apps that I write would have at some zooming ability for all major parts of the UI (and I have kept my promise). I usually put a small slider at the bottom left of grids, dialogs, etc and bind FontSize to it, so with one line you get free zooming. All the major apps I use can (mostly) zoom, Visual Studio, IE, Office apps, Notepad2, etc. I say "mostly" because many menus, toolbars, trees, etc within these apps don't zoom. So the experience is inconsistent in Windows and these apps, but it's just enough to satisfy me and I find I'm using the Ctrl+Wheel unconsciously all day, especially in VS2013 on the Dell. *Greg K*
