What I've found about Windows is it consistently renders things better
on the same display. In other words, text is more readable and easier on
the eyes. I've spent a lot of time tweaking settings on Ubuntu, but it's
still not as good (especially in firefox).
This is a matter of opinion and particular fonts. I have found fonts
that render horribly on Ubuntu and wonderfully on Windows, and I have
found fonts that render wonderfully on Ubuntu and horribly on Windows.
But another person might have the opposite opinions of the same fonts.
The fonts I end up using on Windows are the MS ClearType designed fonts.
The ones I use on Linux are Chaparral Pro and Cronos Pro. (I use Droid
Sans Mono on both platforms as a monospace font.)
I have never gotten MS core fonts to look good on Linux.
This is all assuming that you turned on subpixel rendering in Linux.
