Funny how that guy consistently calls Apple's Quartz font rentering engine a "clone", since the underlying subpixel rendering technology was not invented by Microsoft, but rather by IBM in 1988. Plus, Cleartype in Windows XP was of really poor quality and only became decent in Vista.
I still prefer Quartz since it retains the fonts' original characters rather than forcing them into static pixel structures. It's like a doctor making custom splints to fit your legs versus breaking your legs to make them fit the one-size splints.
However, I guess that's Off Topic (and highly subjective) here. The rest of his blog post is really very interesting, that's why I've bookmarked the page!
