the majority of users are at 1024x768 – I think they even ship video cards defaulted to that res now..

but most 15 laptops are 1280ish wide... quite a few 13" laptops are 1280x800... all fine...

Shit load of companies still buying 15inch screen laptops.
Most companies want laptops smaller and designers want them bigger.

why not?
organization of content and information is that of the designer
the information is all parsed by the server the flash is just a viewer for the cms
3360x1050
It's the new standard.

are you serious?
flash has cms functions galorehttp://www.michaelballard.com/
all images all flash all cms based

but a site full of large bitmap images isn't really able to be all handled in Flash right? (taking photo-heavy content and photo databases here)

what about designing for the users? you cant just decide on 'one width to design to' like this... every site has different requirements, different users. (our site for example has more people on 1920x1200 than on 800x600)

You know one thing I was just thinking about...what about the longevity of a site? Think about the future. Seeing a great looking site that was designed for 8x6 is still ok by today's standards, but it will probably look archaic in a couple years....like seeing a site designed for 640x470 today.
To design for the present, or the future...isn't that always the question with the internet?

i've been letting the design elements stretch past 800x600 but keeping important content not too much bigger than that. i don't think 800x600 willl be necessary for very long.
