After my post a bit earlier in Windows Safari, kurisu posted this fascinating article on the differences between Windows and OS X (and now Safari for Windows) font rendering, which has puzzled me for ages.
A quick summary is that Apple want the fonts to look nice, whereas Microsoft want the text to be more readable. I think it's fair to say that neither is "better", but it's interesting to see the way the different approaches go.
