Most people don't have your violent reaction to ClearType, you know.

What violent reaction?

You are practically having seizures all over the newsgroup! :D

Really? What proof do you have? Or are you just making this up?
After all, I was going to buy into Vista along with their development tools, but it seems that their products are still unpolished yet.

I, um, don't believe that one. Even when you try to be reasonable, you still can't bring yourself to believe anything positive about Microsoft, as far as I can see. There was never any possibility of your switching.

This was a common complaint when Apple released Safari for Windows; it suddenly exposed lots of Windows users to Apple's text.

Apples text wasn't involved in that... it was MS's fonts that were shown. Which proves my point. :D

Oh, no. The thing was, Safari looked the same on Windows as on OS X. The same blurry text. It was Apple's fonts and Apple's renderer.

I do see color fringing when I look. It's there, and it's real. I got used to it, and it doesn't bother me anymore.

I do not accept it. Pure and simple.

Well, that's up to you. But to accept blur and not accept fringes is just your preference.

It is still the case that if you want better font rendering *without* those compromises, you need high-DPI displays. Windows supports those, and OS X does not.

Which proves you need to see an eye doctor.
But then I noticed that you do an awful lot of cutting and snipping in these posts lately. Why is that? Is it because I'm exposing the truth behind the whole matter? Like....

Like I said, discretion is the better part of trolling. :D
