Res
1024x768 | 99646 | 53.88%
800x600 | 45838 | 24.78%
1280x1024 | 21362 | 11.55%
1152x864 | 10338 | 5.59%
Other | 4010 | 2.16%
1600x1200 | 2998 | 1.62%
640x480 | 743 | 0.40%
btw. it makes no sence to second your arugument with sites like microsoft or search engines...can't you imagine how people with 800x600 would feel fucked when they can't surf to those basic sites??

you said 95% were surfing at 1024x768 or higher.
your stats prove you wrong. 25% of your surfers are at 800x600. 33% of SomeCreep's surfers are at 800x600.
that's 1/4 and 1/3 respectively. that's more than enough reason to design for 800x600. i wouldn't want 1/4 or 1/3 of my surfers not being able to view my site properly.
and my argument with popular sites stands. it's not like surfers who go to yahoo/cnn/microsoft never come to our sites or vice versa.
those popular sites design for 800x600 for one reason: a significant amount of surfers are still at 800x600.
