Easily my favorite MS product since OS2.
In particular, *Georgia* and *Verdana* are a great pair of fonts, designed
to complement each other as *text* and *Title*. I have a lot of respect
for MS's Typographers last decade.
(*It's not their fault what people abuse Comic Sans for*. Yes, I liked the
Carter-Cone "Lucida" family even better -- you see Lucida Bright in
Scientific American now -- but that's not as widely available, so
unsuitable for file interchange usage. Lucida Fax was great when it shipped
with WinFax Pro!)
I have set my Gmail default font for HTML email (we lost that war, alas)
to Georgia since it's ubiquitous in the XP-and-later Outlook/MSOffice
world, and looks nice.

:-) With fonts, that's good enough unless you're a purists, in which
case interchanging with MSO is already unclean.
