Actually, you can read it, yes, but it doesn't look right at all. The font and size is completely wrong....
And I can only guess (but out of experience) that it would be the same for some other programs too, without you even knowing or ever have noticed it. GDI++ really messes things up, not only for Plus!. As such I would never recommend using it.
Only when you don't use it you would see how (some) programs are supposed to be looking.

PS: ClearType is just an option which you can enable or disable in Windows (it is by default disabled). You don't need to install anything at all.

Or you could use the online wizard to guide you:

Of course, if you want to fine tune something, you could use the offline tool which Chris4 linked to. But that requires installing something, which is actually not needed at all to use ClearType. You could also use the online wizard I linked to to fine tune.
Clearype does make your text look a bit more blurry though (note: What Microsoft calls 'ClearType' is actually not ClearType as understood by the industry at all though...)
