Maybe the difference in gamma settings makes thosse screen grabs look poor on Windows, but to me, that type is well anti-aliased and very clear. Maybe the sharp contrast between the screengrab and the plain text on your screen makes it look blurred in comparison.

ClearType on XP does a similar thing but not as well. I think MS turned it off by default because people initially think it is blurred. Once you get used to it though, reading text on screen is easier and using a computer without it looks ugly and outdated.
