Wow, this Open Sans font is just plain unreadable on Windows (7) machines. It might be the fault of Windows' subpar font rendering, but here, the font is just too thin and blurry to be read.
Damn, how I miss the days of simple HTML pages with no styling at all. Not beautiful, but readable, usable, fast, and ... yes, somehow beautiful in a pragmatic and very nerdy sense.
Just checked on my hi-res Nexus 4 screen: While not as blurry as on my W7 machine, the font is still unreadably thin. Seriously, why do people believe it was a good idea to make the font so thin that you can only read it with severe eye pain?
Web fonts are the new Flash. They make pages slow to load, hard to read and bring users no benefits. Thankfully they can be blocked easily with Adblocks or similar filters.
