You can change the text scaling in Windows whilst keeping the screen resolution native: Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display - try setting it to Medium.
I know about this but as a web developer/designer I would prefer not to mess with anything other than the resolution. I too am thinking the possibility of using an external screen and use the Macbook Air as a desktop because it's really fast. But I'm very sad about this outcome.
You know when I tried setting it to Medium or Large it almost looked like Metro!
