Make Windows Vista's Fonts Consistent

Chris Pirillo has been a long time advocate for a consistent UI. He can spot even the smallest inconstancy in fonts between windows menus and applications. Vista has been a thorn in his side for a while and MS hasn't listened to him (so far). So he's taken it upon himself to hack into the registry and build a reg file to run to fix all the font substitutions and make them consistent on Vista's new 'Segoe UI' true type font.
Have a look through his whole article and proceed with caution. I've applied the patch and it is pretty nice. Things will look a little different, especially sites like Google (and gmail) that call on Arial since these sites will now show Segoe UI. I think it's an easier font to read.
