Windows 7 is still pretty bad. Maybe windows 10 is better

Forgive me, but windows 7's last large update (Service Pack 1) was "February 22, 2011; 6 years ago" according to wikipedia. As this was before high resolution monitors really took off at all, you can see why windows 7 doesn't have great support.

I can't say anything about windows 10's support (The highest I have is 1080p)

Windows 7 is what my company and many others still use. I only described what I have seen.

It sort of is, in that it sort of works... but scaling on Windows 10 still introduces a bunch of UX issues. Especially if you pair a Retina laptop with a 1080p external and try and use both side by side.

DPI scaling is pretty good, only time it's an issue is when people use older versions of qt or Windows forms (?) which shouldn't​ be an issue for many people.
