I think they use Verdana or Arial, or any other font that is not messy enough, I find Times new Roman stylish, which makes it messy.

Just like websites, a non polished web site uses Times new roman, which annoys me and eventually making me stop reading their website.

As I observed, lots of software and/or websites uses Verdana as their main font, simple and good for the eyes.
