I have no idea ... what is it going to take for Linux desktops to look less "Safari on Windows-ish"?? The type in Safari on Windows is “Linuxish”.

Secondly, it seems likely as a major criticism is that font rendering is fugly on Windows. I'm pretty sure Apple wants to address that. Adding GDI font rendering seems pretty labor intensive to be intended as just an option. Because of that, I think my suspicion is correct. @Gavin Brown: Well that’s why I said “looks like”.

Providing the option to use GDI font rendering is quite different than switching to it completely. You’ve made quite a leap by assuming that GDI will become Apple’s preferred choice.
