Visual studio does very well with a widescreen display. Widescreen makes
it possible to keep the solution/class/resource/etc. browser open without
unduly shrinking your editor window. While debugging, I have my editor in
the middle, the browser on the right, and a stacktrace (sometimes with
a watch window) on the left. It's much nicer with the wide aspect ratio.

As has been pointed out, that's more a function of your eyes than anything
else. However, I would point out the following:

- Word/Excel/IE all have zoom settings
- Visual Studio has adjustable font sizes
- So does the Windows UI (Fonts can be adjusted for point size and DPI)
