Some of you have already leaped. I suspect that some time in 2007 most of us will knock out comps optimized for 1024px resolution rather than 800px if we're not doing so already."

Hold on a sec, you're telling me Jakob Nielsen wrote something ridiculous?"To improve intranet quality, a company with 10,000 users would have to invest about $500,000 in usability. Thus, the return on investment for intranet usability ranges from a factor of 20 (for a company that starts out low and moves to average) to a factor of 10 (for a company that starts out average and moves to high)." -Jakob Nielsen

People who try to pass off elastic layouts as the end all of problems solution are extremely ignorant. Both in a usability AND design sense. Yes, it is the best option some times- but to say that it is the ultimate solution is a falacy.

The blind don't give a sh!t what resolution you design for, just that it's usable. Well.... is it?

Yes, mjjack, I've wondered the same... Most seem to have missed the point almost entirely.

UX Magazine- <a class="user" href="http://www.uxmag.com/">http://www.uxmag.com/</a> -does a good job of adjusting the layout, but then you run into the % of javascript-enabled users and blah, blah, blah... Coke vs Pepsi argument...

i'm saying that i think M$ should be a bit more helpful when it comes to people using their screen space, as darkdriving said. a lot of my friends ask me how much my monitor costs when they see how much space i have onscreen, because they just dont know they can give themselves more screen space. maybe a wizard or something when you set up a new Windows account would be useful, so all the basic preferences are just chosen then and there.

says who? those might be some nice suggestions, but i'm not sure what made you choose them specifically.
