That's from Win98. Win2K is equally bad. WinXP is much better with cleartype 
enabled. The IE screenshots linked to from 
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/pxmonkeys.html were taken from WinXP, and are 
representative of the
current state of what doze can do.

Something else that image shows is one potential advantage of higher 
resolution. That image is from a 1024x768 (XGA) resolution source. A switch to 
1400x1050 (SXGA+) on the same display size brings that 18px (1.1230em)
font physically down to the size of the 13px font you see in that image. Even 
with no font smoothing that means a much higher apparently quality font due to 
all those extra px packed into the smaller space. It's just one
reason why IE people using high resolution get frustrated by pages that set 
sizes in px. Not only are the fonts unresizable and too small, but also the 
much better quality that is available is simply not utilized.
