Mac Whinge #1

Now that I actually OWN a Mac I am officially allowed to whinge about how shit it is.

While the Quartz rendering engine is markedly superior to that in Windows its text rendering SUCKS. It is terrible. Anyone that has used (and tuned) Windows Cleartype on an LCD, particularly on high resolution screens, should agree. Cleartype is far better than what ever Quartz is using.

Fonts that are antialiased on Quartz are shockingly bad, often barely readable, and you CANT TURN IT OFF.

It is a relief to switch to XP in Parallels and see a nice crisp interface.

Boo to Mac
