A possible issue is that a lot of applications,

text to comfortably large sizes for old eyes.

I had an Intern run afoul of the text scaling on Windows a couple months ago. When he
started we thought they?d given him a laptop with some ridiculously low resolution, and he
couldn?t run the main application we needed him working with in a usable fashion. Finally
I realized Windows was ?zooming? it. When an application needs to be able to display a
certain number of ?lines? of data to be usable, this sort of behavior isn?t exactly useful
in such a case.
