Windows 8 does support high resolution screens, but unfortunately it has poor DPI scaling features. This means that instead of crisper text and contours, you get smaller text and touch/click targets. While this does give you a nice, big workspace, it can be hard to see things. When you do increase the DPI through Windows settings, applications start to have issues rendering text appropriately, and often UI targets don't scale with the text.
