I prefer the way Mac does it :-) And ClearType tuner only really lets you vary the brightness of the sub pixel rendering. OK so there is no universal rendering method that will please everybody.

They just do it differently. Also, with <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx" rel="nofollow">ClearType Tuner</a> one can tune how they want Windows to render fonts. So it's a bit of a moot point. I object to the claim that “Mac OS X renders fonts properly” (and Windows does not). They just do it differently.

I have already run the tuner. Its probably just that Mac subpixel smoothing is much more obvious. Yeah, it is definitely ClearType, zoom in. I have already run the tuner.

Might be just me, but I can't see any of the subpixel aliasing. (Also, if you're stuck without Safari, this might save your eyes a bit - http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx - it's the MS ClearType Tuner doohickey that lets you turn up the level of font smoothing. Still not quite as nice as Safari, though.) Are you sure the top one is ClearType? Might be just me, but I can’t see any of the subpixel aliasing.
