    You can turn it off in Windows 7, and then all parts of the UI will look sharp and aliased.

    No such luck in Windows 8, where several parts of the system (titlebars, Metro apps, etc.) will keep on using smoothed fonts no matter what.

    W7 64 and a guest OS here or there. The Metro ui makes me want to cut myself.

    I like your spartan win2k theme anon, have you played with any alternate font renderers like gdipp, etc?

    I tried MacType on Windows 8.1, but even with everything turned off, text still looks blurry.

    I believe this is called irony as Micro$oft already offers one.
