Seriously, has anyone tried ClearType?
When I first saw it, I thought "Oh, just another Microsoft 'wow' product.".
But now I turned it on, and downloaded the ClearType Tuner thing from Microsoft's site.
My eyes are freaking out, but everything looks so much better!

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
PS: My first post :)

It's a Microsoft PowerToy that makes text smoother.
Doesn't seem much, but it really works, if you fiddle with the settings.

It doesn't look like the brit cats can use it as it will only work with US English regional settings.

Hmm, are you sure?
It *should* work with any regional setting.
