Windows 7 Magnifier and What Font Suits Me Best

This is a quick look at the magnification level I neeed to use in WIndows mangifier in order to see it. I also demonstrate how effective Microsoft's own magnifier is - needless to say it is not effective at all. LOL I mean sure you can see it, but the cursor disappears making navigation VERY difficult. Also, because it's a bar the top (or bottom) of the screen, what do you do? No full screen magnification exists in Windows by default, so you're on your own and ahve to purchse a third party solution costing upwards of $300-$600. I also look at what font size suits me best for comfortable reading of the computer screen.

@nrgshkl093 I compare it to hte Macintosh because the Mac has had this kind of full screen magnification since 2003, so six years prior to Windows having it.

@nrgshkl093 Been using Linux off & on for four years as virtual machines. I just recently managed to find hardware to put it on. I'm now running Zorin but giving Ubuntu 11.04 a shot in VirutalBox. I want to try out this new Unity interface.
