Microsoft's finest achievement with Windows XP may have nothing to do with flashy features. The new operating system uses Microsoft's ClearType font-rendering technology, which makes text viewed on liquid-crystal displays (LCD) unbelievably sharp.
In their lead Windows XP launch article c|net identifies ClearType as one of Windows XP's main highlights.
