Heh, Yes, ClearType is turned off by default. Right-click on the desktop, choose Properties, tab to Appearance -> select Effects and change the "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" to ClearType.

If it's so good, why is it turned of by default?

It made my screen look worse. Some areas good, but others blurry.
