Does anyone have any idea how well retina display MacBooks work for Windows and Linux? AFAIK Windows have resolution independence but can they display hi res system UI? Or will everything just become smaller?

From my experience everything on linux will become smaller. More user-centric linux's like Ubuntu might have resolution independence though.

If it really happens, Windows and Linux users will probably have no choice if they want retina display laptop. At least for a few years.

The icons will become smaller, but font sizes are already keyed off of the DPI.
