I agree - which is obviously why sites like THG and cnet run larger than 800x600.

So twisting the question slightly - what would you say would be the 'breaking' point where if you looked at your stats (if it shows resolutions, such as Urchin stats); is it worth to break the 800x600 mold.

At 25% I think it would be foolish but at 15% and less I think it really is a fairly ok thing to do; this has been the worse thing about the Internet since the inception of it, designing for the lowest denominator vs embracing newer technologies.
