Hi!
ReactOS uses FreeType for renderning fonts so our font rendering capabilities are limited to what FreeType provides. There is an incomplete support for FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD mode in FreeType that should do more or less the same as ClearType, but unfortunetly it's not finished and using it causes crashes.

The one thing a lot of people I know who use Windows 2000 have talked about that tempted them to switch to Windows XP despite the bloat is ClearType subpixel rendering technology, an alternate to simple font smoothing introduced in Windows 95.
If ReactOS can offer superior subpixel rendering of fonts (ala Photoshop or better) I could see it seriously competing.
