    A big issue with this is the OS needs to be able to scale.

    Back in about 2000 I had a Philips 107p? 17" CRT monitor. It was capable of 19something by something else (1900x1600? - it was a long time ago - I forget) resolution. Unfortunately that was also only at 60Hz which looks terrible on a CRT. Anyway, at that resolution, the text in things is too small to easily read. I've been reading on and off for years now about how OSes are making scalable interfaces, maybe they finally are now. But until I see it in person, I don't care if my monitor has 300dpi if I can't read anything.
