Supposedly, this is taken care of according to this Microsoft blog post. I may have to email him, because I didn't find this very helpful at all.
I did however find a workaround for my issue, because I can't code when the text is too small. You have to scroll down in this discussion, but I'll copy and paste the comment I found very useful from JohnKovalcik.
Hi John,
I had to reply to your agreement here - with some thoughts. I researched the heck out of this - as I bought one for one of the executives in our co. (I manage the I.T.). and wanted to find a solution for the issue to expedite my own acquisition of one of these! Well - didn't find a 'true' fix - but picked up an SP3 anyway as I found a work around that I've deemed "acceptable" - for me anyway - not ideal. Basically - we access a couple applications through rdp - WHEN I want to use these on the SP3 - I just change the resolution of the desktop to 1366 X 768 or 1360 x 768. Then the remote screen is 'normal' - of course exiting you get desktop icons the size of volkswagon beetles and need to change it back to the awesome high resolution of the device. Anyway - just a thought. I like the SP3 enough to do that - it's speed, power, features and sleek design in my opinion really is a plausible replacement for a business grade laptop. It would benefit MSFT to provide an update that would handle this though - as many businesses run rdp applications - shame they can't render the display to whatever the remote server hosting the remote app is. BTW - another thought - I had a second screen plugged into the SP3 USB port - and the rdp display mirrored the second display - normal size fonts - but then again - would you really carry around a second display?! However if you are working in an office/home office - perhaps that's an option - just plug it in and work away. Hope this helps some.
