Ok, maybe I'm not being clear or maybe I'm not understanding. What I'm meaning is to activate it universally in the O.S...Windows uses it everywhere it can. Not just for the ebook reader. I'm not sure but, I'd think that using the cleartype tuner in XP and just activating cleartype would provide a c...

I'm not a gamer at all, but from what I'm reading here: m I'm beginning to get the impression that MS may be paying for more folks to say their other products are great too. The last I checked, if a benchmark for a GPU from Nvidia trumps AMD at stable frames at twice the resolution, it's not even a ...

Windows 98 cleartype

Okay, I've been reading over @ msfn: m I don't quite understand why whatever420 had to delete his files when they are essentially distributed by MS through their reader download.

I'm trying to think of the closest comparison to Windows 8 I can come up with. Someone pointed out an AOL website from the mid 90's that looked close. Some say Windows 3.0 or 3.1. I don't think Windows 3.x was anywhere near this bad. The closest thing I can think of, as far as an operating system or...

Microsoft builds massive 27x13-foot Surface 2 in London.
