The font rendering debate will never change. I’m pretty darn sure. But at least for me the font rendering results I got on ubuntu with a patched freetype was a lot better than the results I have to look at on my new macbook. Both are in my opinion better than the results you get on Windows XP, but with some ClearType customizing you can improve the Windows Rendering too.

But just to show what I mean, here two screenshots: This is what a typical TextPress post looks like on my ubuntu installation: textpress on ubuntu
And this is what it looks like on OS X: textpress on OS X

Maybe it’s just me, but I like the ubuntu one a lot more. Anyone an idea of how to get the Mac version look less blurry?
