10%-15% use 800x600 native resolution or smaller. Many surfers with higher resolutions do not browse full-screen. Certainly we are still talking about a minority who will be forced by wider layouts to scroll horizontally, but that is one of the most hated features a site can have and that minority is still a large number.

One of the paradoxes I see over and over, is that on the boards there are discussions between webmasters trying to find ways to squeeze an extra point or two out of their traffic. But you also see topics such as this, where (often some of the same) webmasters cheerfully propose ignoring a double-digit segment of their potential customer base...
