I see little bit improvement in Psychedelic score.

As far as I can remember the text at the bottom in the Speed Reading Demo looked bad. It looks very clear now. :)

I can also confirm that text has changed since the Windows update.

Some of the hinting changed. Especially with the letter "W'.

I take it back, bright text has gotten a little softer but dark text seems unchanged. Here is a couple comparison shots of before, after, and the difference.
