Actualy, start your windows and fonts look like crap, you might or might not know what a font is, but sine there is not that much you can do about the rendering engine it is still going to look like crap. On linux on the other hand (given that you are using a distro from this century) fonts look perfectly normal by default for both Qt and GTK2 based applications, and most applications nowadays use one of the 2 toolkits. Even older GTK1 aps look OK, but not anti-aliased. Now, if you wanna get fancy and run something old, it is going to look ugly, but then again, try running a 16-bit Win3.x app on your WinXP box and see how you like the results. Now, even for older apps, there are some reasonable defaults in the Xresources file.
