Windows 8/8.1's font smoothing performance is very poor.
It's disappointing that Microsoft hasn't improved font smoothing since Windows 8. The issue has persisted, making text appear rough and blurry. While promises were made for Windows 8.1, the results remain unsatisfactory. I personally didn’t like Apple products, but OS X’s rendering quality was excellent. Ubuntu also offers good font smoothing solutions. Back in the day, tools like MacType and GDI++ helped with this, but they’re no longer maintained or work well on Windows 8. It seems many are concerned about how text displays in Windows 8.
Font rendering system (ClearType) in Windows 8 is identical to Windows 7 one. There was and is no complain about it. I don't think we are talking about the same thing. If we are, you should change your crappy monitor, cause text isn't blurry as you say. If not, then please elaborate, so that we can help you.

Could you try to be a bit more considerate? If you’re comfortable doing so, aim for a respectful tone and focus on the technical aspects rather than personal opinions.
I’m disappointed with your comments. There’s no evidence or specifics to support what you’re saying. Even without details, it’s hard to take anything seriously. It would help if you shared more context or examples. Without that, it’s difficult to address your points effectively.
