Here are two maginifications (attachment) of Patrick Useldinger's 
screenshot. antialias.gif shows the rounded characters (Linux) and 
stoneage.gif the pixelized ones (Windows).

Guess, Bill Gates will have to do some work to sell this in 2006 with 
the introduction of Longhorn ;-)

But with Linux, you can always return to the old setup. With Windows, if 
you do not like the look of the new version you have to use an 
unsupported (no drivers anymore, no patches) old Windows version.
