I've had the opposite experience with Windows. I find the Windows font painfully small and scanty.
It's always refreshing to get to use Ubuntu with ubuntu-font because I feel like the font size and everything is sized just right. One of the things I like about Ubuntu over Windows is how, in my opinion, ubuntu sizes everything just right. I guess we have the opposite impressions/experiences.
