Has XP font smoothing activated by default or should one do it manually?

Hello,

Yes - but you may want to use the better one - ClearType - by doing the
following:

Start > Control Panel > Display > Appearance (tab) > Effects > (2nd list
box)

Or you can tune online too

Thanks to both of you. Now I'm as unsure as before!

I normally use ClearType, but when preparing images for the web I am unsure
as to depict the dummy screens with antialiasing on or off. I just don't
remember what the Windows' default was.
