No. This'll be an increasing problem. Remember, all LCD screens have a native resolution, and scaling from any other resolution to that resolution looks *awful*, much worse than on a CRT. It's a limitation of the technology. As more and more people move to LCD screens there'll be more and more need for 1600x1200 - most 17" and higher screens will have this as their native resolution, and some of the larger laptop screens (15.1") do. 1280x1024 scaled to 1600x1200 will look hideous - in fact, it'd look much better to scale the 800x600 image, but of course that doesn't happen :) -- adamw
