Ok so this is my first time on a pc in 5 years and all the text in IE looks like crap. Is there a setting somewhere to make it smooth like in safari?

it kinda sucks cause it's not consistent. at least on an apple machine it consistently makes things look comfortable, but on my windows machine it botches up pixel fonts and font sizes (oh and the shadows on desktop text looks like ass with it on)
