A client of mine bought a new PC just before Christmas, and, naturally, the best version of Windows (Win2K) is no longer purchasable, so they got WinXP Pro. I thought the anti-aliasing was absolutely dreadful, not even close to as good on all previous versions of Windows (going back to Win95 with the Plus! pack, which provided good anti-aliasing on Windows back in 1995). And as the monitor is a beautiful 17" flat LCD, I tried the new "ClearType" anti-aliasing, and that was substantially worse than the normal anti-aliasing! I don't know what Microsoft thinks they are doing, but in this one regard, they've made Windows a lot less usable than it was in all previous versions, going back to 1995! -- David W.
