I don't think there's anything you can do in the browser.  Font 
smoothing is called the ClearType Tuning tool in Windows and it wasn't 
included automatically in IE 6 or Win XP.  It is included automatically 
with IE 7.  This affects the whole OS, not just the browser.  It's a 
utility you can run to customize the settings and makes a big difference 
in viewing text on a LCD.

I just tell my users to get it from Microsoft and install it ;-)

Still not as good as a Mac, but a bit closer :-)
