I've seen people use custom Scaling on retina macbooks using windows 7 to 200% from  searching. so you should set it similar.

also see this apparently it will do it quite well (windows XP legacy scaling is default to revent blur on non supporting programs.)

The checkbox for that is disabled (but ticked) for me.
DPI scaling seems to work better if you've got Aero on, but I don't, and things just look plain whack if it isn't 100%.  Typically text scales bigger, but icons don't, which is where proportionality gets broken.  Sometimes containers don't scale properly, so the larger text gets cut off, and this gets irritating.

But even with Aero on, I've found that not all things scale up properly.  Maybe the applications' fault in this case, but I still can't do anything about it.
So in the end, DPI scaling sucks, and lowering the resolution is the only real way to get things right.
