I've got a widescreen laptop. (1900 x 1200 i think)
One thing that is true... is I can open up chat windows and chat programs running on the side of my screen .... passively glances over to look at who's logged on and/or if somebody is talking to me I can read the message.
This is possible while I have a web browser sized to the largest width it needs (1200) I still have 700 pixels remaining...
So ... I guess there is a very small benefit to not having to pull off what you're doing... go down to the task bar and click the message that is flashing to see what was just said.
HOWEVER... more often than not... I click the maximize button on a browser...out of habit ... take up all 1900x1200 of the desktop...and waste most of it with the white space
