Maybe it's just so clunky for devlopers to support it they don't bother? 
  I certainly have no idea how any of my programs would look.  MS need 
to make it easier/mandatory in the APIs and development tools to cater 
for higher DPI environments (maybe they did that already for Windows 8, 
haven't checked the latest versions).

Android is an example of a better way to do it (but probably not the 
best way).
