I've installed the latest RC beta of Windows 7 on my WUXGA laptop, setting screen dpi to 154% to enlarge the fonts to fit the 1920x1200 screen.
WLW ran OK on XP2, albeit with the slightly wrong font control of IE7. However it was beatifully sharp. Installing IE8, WLW seemed to override DPI control, rendering everything at 96dpi, which made the preview very small.
On the first W7 beta, from January, it too showed the WLW window with the fonts too small, again ignoring increased dpi setting.
Now on the RC beta of W7, it seems to have said 'enough!', we are going to definitely increase DPI!
And it's done so. However.... all the fonts are fuzzier, it's treating them as if they were simply graphics to enlarge. Weirdly, even the menus and dialog boxes are bring enlarged badly, fuzzily.
This feels like 'out of the frying pan, into the fire'.
I've long loved the 148dpi of my laptop screen. But I'm starting to feel it's too much trouble. Do the WLW developers know this problem exists?
