At full resolution, it's hilarious. At anything less than that, it's kind of foggy. Is there anything that can be done to make it perfect? Could Apple help fix it with a Boot Camp update? Or is my screen just too good to run this OS?
Got a tip for us?

Well, everything on the old desktop is tiny (Windows dialog boxes are smaller than Mountain Lion notifications, for example). You can read them, but it's a headache. In the modern/metro part, the font is just smaller. It's not horrible but it's just too small to be reading all the time. The panes/panels or whatever they're called seem to be around the same size no matter what.
I borked my installation so I can't take a screenshot.

Not too bad
I didn't think it looked that bad all in all it does give me a head ache using it for a period of time but not as much as windows 7 did I never got that to look right even upping the DPI and things I just couldn't get it perfect.
Have you had any problems with getting the trackpad to work?

Increas dpi and its perfect. Not too small.
Chrome looks fuzzy though and on Internet Explorer trackpad is jerky, so browsing isn't good on either browser.

when i put a windows 8 VM onto my pc, all the features of windows 8, such as the task bar in desktop mode, looked smaller than the one in my current windows 7 machine. So it should come as no surprise that everything will look smaller than you think.
