Correct. I use Linux at home. Ubuntu and Mint have nice rendering OOTB, Arch got that great with the Infinality package.
OSX also has decent rendering (albeit too fat for my taste), Windows' subpixelrendering + matching fonts used to give sharp letters, yes too skinny, but legible.
With their new engine, texts are less legible. The letters are still skinny, but now they're also blurry.
All this to cater to the very small fraction that uses Windows on a mobile device; throwing existing desktop users under the bus.
