application was found to have user experience issues on scaled high DPI devices 
during internal testing. Windows 8 touch machines with high DPI displays are 
already available and more are launching soon. Some of these devices enable 
150% or 125% scaling by default, and we’d like to work with you to 
proactively address the compatibility issues with DPI scaling. 

You can learn more about updating your application for High DPI on MSDN at the 
Build session Making Your Desktop App Shine on High-DPI Displays.
