I find the inability to remove ClearType to be utterly abhorrent. I fucking HATE seeing muddied, blurry pixels in my font. The latest MSN has this same failure. Microsoft, if you're reading this, DO AWAY WITH IT! Or at least give the option to turn it the fuck off. There's a reason why I use Windows in the first place - I don't have an erection for Bezier curves and "soft" GUI elements.
Oh god, I know, right? Antialiasing is the worst thing that has ever happened to textual interfaces. I desperately miss the days of pixel-perfect raster fonts. Even Linux is trying to do away with them. How the mighty have fallen!
