Windows With speculation of a ship date for Windows Vista ranging in the second part of 2006, word has surprisingly surfaced that it can be expected much earlier. BusinessWeek has received a copy of the internal blog of Chris Jones, who is a top Windows executive. The blog states that the code for Windows Vista will be completed by August 31, giving Microsoft the opportunity to place Vista on PCs for the 2006 Christmas season.

It is a good selling point, not because it's needed (users really shouldn't care), but because it's an elegant solution to a problem that will exist more and more.

Microsoft will never have crisp fonts, they use cleartype. (I just really do find Cleartype to be fuzzy, it's too much, at least the default settings are).

I also find the default setup blurry, but I've tweaked mine to look as badass as never. Try this: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx

edit: Did I say I love ClearType?
