One of the "kludgy solutions" to the DPI problem is to change settings on the server to scale (if I remember correctly). The problem is that if you login from another machine (say a mac) then it is almost unusable.

That said, I would even take the rubber chicken solution :-). Thankfully I don't need to log in often on my Surface pro but when I do it is a pain. So, if anyone has suggestions, that would be great.
