Reading that web page, I'm not convinced MS made the right decision here 
-- on my monitor (which is a ViewSonic LCD, probably pretty standard), 
I'm not sure the ClearType examples really look any better, and they 
certainly could look worse on other displays.

Also from that page:

"""
Additionally, when images are prepared to be display-independent (that 
is, when they are prepared for distribution, and not just for display on 
the computer with which they were prepared), ClearType should be turned 
off if rendered text is part of the image. For example, screenshots 
should always be prepared with ClearType turned off. Image-editing 
programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Corel Paint Shop Pro bypass 
ClearType when rendering text directly, for precisely this reason.
"""

I say just turn it off everywhere, it's the safer bet.
