Last I heard, more than 50% are using 800x600, a fair number using larger,
and fewer than 6% are using 640x480. I think there may be something at
MediaMetrix about this, but I've read the stats so many places that we feel
pretty confident about designing for 800x600 for everything except some apps
designed specifically for public education or other markets with a
disproportionate percentage of older machines (I've always liked this idea:
Wouldn't it be great if public education had all the money it needed and the
Pentagon had to hold a bake sale for a bomber).
