I never could understand why they ever created ClearType, and why they called it "ClearType". It's pretty much the exact opposite... it makes the text on the screen more fuzzy and... *unclear*. Whenever I see it, I have to blink a few times because I feel like I need to try harder to focus on the text harder for it to be right.
I didn't even realize XP had an option to use ClearType for the whole system. Though now that I think about it, I think I might've noticed it in the visual options that I go through and deactivate most of when I fresh-install XP...
