Poor Programming when Windows cannot be resized?

I am running Vista SP1 and I bought a large LCD display so that I am
able to personalize the display to make the text more readable by
scale the font to 120dpi from the standard 96 dpi. Everything works
great with all my applications until I installed Simply Accounting;
this program opens some windows that do not have scroll bars or the
gadgets to resize the window. This makes it impossible to view
information that you may need to see or select. I called their
support and they suggested I scale the font back to the 96dpi standard
and this does work, their windows then display all the information but
this affects my entire system and every application now has tiny hard
to see fonts, ridiculous.
I want to send Simply Accounting a letter telling that they are using
poor programming practises because every window the program opens
should have the standard gadgets to resize the window and to scroll if
required to view the whole window. I don't think it would be hard for
a competent programmer to go through the code, make the corrections
and re-compile this application. Am I right in with this opinion?
