Channel9 met with Bill Hill and the ClearType team again and see what's the latest with the fonts in Windows Vista. They talk about trends in display resolution, research done in aesthetics and quite a few other things.

seriously, if I would have to watch the CT page for longer, my eyes would hurt, I really prepfer the FT one.

CT has another issue, if the monitor (TFT) is not a "correct" one, it can produce horrible unreadable results.

The Mac OS X font rendering is much different again. At first I thought its very blurry, but now, after using it for almost a year, I love it

That's another good point. When you're used to a certain rendering, and you look at another, it will probably seem bad to you, as it's not what your eyes are used to.

You can change RGB -BGR setting in CT also. It's not easily discoverable though.

For anyone needing to do so, the downloadable tuner powertoy allows you to:
