Same issue not fixed with Wndows8.1???

I am running windows 8.1 only. I have attached the screenshot. If you notice carefully you will find out the fonts are not clear/blurry type. When I was using Windows 7, the fonts were smooth.

Have you set cleartype properly ?

Not a problem with cleartype. I got a fix anyway. In Display Settings, there is an option "Let me choose one scalling level" , by default it was unchecked, I checked it and rebooted, now the fonts are coming fine.

Boot time is the fastest ever. But don't know about multi boot

 

[marvelousprashant]

Boot time is faster. Multi boot is possible but certain OEMs disable this capability. Definitely possible if you are on a custom built pc

HP Laptop. Currently running Ubuntu/Win7 dual boot.

Hoping for running Ubuntu/Win8/Arch/Oikyo/Kali/Ubuntu Beta multiboot.

Boot time is much faster than 7 . Make sure you have fast startup option enabled in power settings(in win8 ofc)
