I use Trebuchet MS. It looks a bit different,  doesn't look like an MS font, and seems similar on Mac & Win.

I tried Verdana for a while-it's not monospaced, but fairly wide and very clean-looking-but it turns out that I prefer monospaced fonts better for reading code. Maybe just because I'm so used to them that non-monospaced fonts look weird in that context. Source Code Pro is appealing.
