If Helvetica is specified as the first font in a CSS list, it looks great on macs, but lousy on PCs (at least PCs running XP, I haven't seen vista much). Sadly, for a general purpose site, it's better to use "arial, helvetica, sans-serif". I haven't really tested it much, but one way around that might be to use helvetica neue as the first font, since it's prevalent on macs, but not on pcs....
