Is it possible to "zoom in" in Windows (Vista), like we can in Ubuntu?

One of the features of Ubuntu that I miss in Windows is the zoom in feature.

Does someone know how can that be achieved in Windows?

PS: I am not looking for the zoom that Vista provides by default [1 2] because it is application specific. It zooms selectively. For example - if I Ctrl+scroll on desktop, icons get zoomed - not the wallpaper, if I do that in IE, the page gets zoomed [but not the Navigation bar or the taskbar].

I want everything to get zoomed.

If you have used the Desktop zoom of Ubuntu, you will understand.

Also please do not suggest Windows magnifier. It sucks.

Checkout this tool:

ZoomIt

It's very popular and works well for presentations, so it should probably suit what you're trying to achieve.
