Vista's Graphical Scaling Capabilities?

Does Vista has scaling capabilities? That is, can Vista shrink or enlarge text or graphics on the desktop OR IN WEB PAGES so that, even if you get an absurdly high resolution, you can adjust the size of applications or web pages?

I guess what I'm asking is this: Can you buy a 14" laptop with a very high resolution such as SXGA+ (1920x1200) in which the default text and graphics are very, very small, and then adjust some setting so that it will appear as if you have a smaller resolution such as 1024 x 768, but less grainy than that resolution would normally appear? And will this work for web pages as well as software programs.

Thanks.
