*sigh* indeed. In 2004 this was the backdoor to MS to hear from the devs the news and opinions on exciting stuff.. long has that gone. I had a valid point to start a conversation or ask a question which is what this place was originally intended for, the behind the scenes stuff that were cool for geeks.

I already know that anything you said Barry, is your opinion. Just as every other post I read on every other forum or social site. But you are in a special position which you worked hard for.. like others. Which I now find harder due to changes I understand nothing, but am curious about. It's curiosity that drove many of us here.  

You were hardly constructive towards my topic, but I am sorry I have annoyed you. In my defence, I think more has been assumed of me here more than anything else.. but if I had achieved what you have, after all that hard work, I would have been more of an ambassador at least. There are things that all of us would like to know more about, there is no shame in asking.

And there we have the reason why so few Softies still post on this forum: because people assume that everything they say is an official Microsoft response.

This is not conjecture on my part. Several MS employees have told me that, including littleguru.

Assuming I'm assuming? Forget it, I can see where this is going.

@figuerres: we already know MS aren't going to respond though don't we. Although very different which I accept they are. Was it useful or sympathetic to my sight problems? Was it constructive? Or was it just plain ignorant and rude?

I suppose the short answer is no-one cares, deal with it. But I ask why can every competitor browser render fine except your own on your own OS? Makes.No.Sense.

I'm using the latest version of the best software ever created and it hurts, physically hurts to do so.. That's all I'm saying and trying to fathom why or if it will be alleviated. For all I know it's an issue to be resolved, but I don't...

and the only Microsoft response to a subject we should all care about more is "I'm blue dabadee da ba daa"

That's bordering on insulting.

And what's the betting the brits get slapped with an additional $200 or so on top of that...

Oh my days. Well I've updated everything and still have the same issue...

Thanks for the additional responses.. As a simple humble developer.. I have no idea how this is deemed acceptable. Host browser on the Host OS is fugly to the point it's unusable and actually, physically hurts me, yet a competitors is lovely. Makes no sense to me.

I want to know what decisions were made about Accessibility on this or where I stand. Can I send MS my bills if my eyes get even worse or my headaches continue? Can I have a refund please? Am I holding it wrong?

Pretty!

Is there anything I can do to fix the fuzzy fonts in IE on Windows 8? 

I have to wear glasses for VDU use and at work and IE10 looks fantastic. So much so I've made it my default browser. However, at home the fonts are so fuzzy it really strains my eyes... so I'm forced onto another browser. 

Is it possible to fix the fuzziness so I can use IE on Win8 also? 

No problems for me at all with my upgrade including WMC  

Job well done!
