Ugly!
Is that screenshot really how Microsoft renders fonts nowadays? Because I remember the Windows 3.1 TrueType font engine shipping with better fonts than this.
My first thought was that Microsoft wants all your applications to be ugly. But then I corrected myself: Microsoft wants all your applications to be as ugly as theirs. My feelings about Microsoft are changing from active dislike and avoidance to dislike, bafflement and finally avoidance. Perhaps this is SatNad's new customer focussed approach. But who knows?
