Are any of the common Windows fonts more legible than others at small sizes, such as 6pt?

I know that there are some free fonts (such as PT Sans) that have decent caption styles, but I'm looking specifically for common system fonts.

Edit:

Related question: Are there ways to make a font more legible at smaller sizes?

: That really depends what you mean. If you're using fonts that are already on the users' systems, then the user has a license to use the font and you have nothing to concern yourself with.

Verdana is a typeface that has sacrificed a lot (a lot in my humble opinion) of style to just be legible.

The lowercase letters are high when compared to the capitals ('it has
a large x-height' in typographer's terms);
The counters are large;
It's a sans serif;
There are virtually no details that have been rendered subtle or small.
