Clearer Fonts on Laptops & LCD's

Most people these days are running Windows XP, but most of them are probably not using ClearType. While using it will not make a huge improvement in font quality on a normal CRT screen, the improvement is quite dramatic on higher quality LCD's and especially on laptop screens.

Of course, big surprise, you'll have to use Internet Explorer to use it. I tried with Firefox, but it kept telling me to "turn it on" even after I checked the box that was supposed to do just that. Then I tried MSIE and gee, it worked. Go figure. Then on the next screen it installed an Active-X component, so that explained why it wouldn't have worked anyway.
