I love Microsoft ClearType™, so I want to inform the readers of this blog about it.
ClearType™ is a technology that enhances the readability of screen fonts. You can see the difference yourself, in the graphic below.
The first image is from a PC without ClearType™, the second image is from a PC with ClearType™.
ClearType™ is a free tool, and using it is simple. The following link explains how to install and tune ClearType™.

It may take your eyes about 5 minutes to adjust to ClearType™ but I assure you it is worth it. And it can be switched off easily from the control panel.
The setting I use in ClearType™ sets the possible contrast between the text and the background to maximum.
You can also enable ClearType™ by:
1. Right click on Desktop.
2. Click the 'Appearance' tab.
3. Click 'Effects'.
4. Select 'ClearType' in 'use the following.....screen fonts'.
