Nowadays, software often barely fits in 1920x1080. My laptop runs at 150%, and the screen effectively is 1280x720... where my 10 year old laptop was 1280x800 at 100%. Yes, the newer laptop is technically sharper, but back then, software and websites actually WORKED WELL in a 1280x800 space.

I have to agree with you on this one. I do not understand the appeal of grey font on websites. I understand (don't like, but understand) that they're designing everything for tablets with great resolution nowadays - making everything way too big for my normal laptop screen. But why the heck would they think lightening the font was a good idea?!
