HiDPI support across the Windows ecosystem is still horrible.

In fairness it's handled quite well by Windows I feel, a lot of third party apps let it down.

It's a bigger challenge on Windows than OSX. On OSX devs only have to target a small number of High DPI resolutions.

But the challenge has nothing to do with the resolution, it's entirely in the UI scaling, which is separate from resolution.

Macs cover a pretty wide range of DPIs, and windows can be any size. I'm not sure what you mean.
