I think that is
pretty close to accurate.
It's not so much the screen resolution as we know anyways...it's the browser view port.
I have no idea why, but most people I know with higher resolutions run the browser full screen. Even if it's 1280.
I run in
1152x864
...but always run FF or IE in 800 width.
I recall reading that laptops have started to outsell desktops...and all laptops run over 800.
Also, like Cleo mentions- we're all use to digesting information at a certain size.
It's not such a big deal to stay <800 width while making things a "bit bigger" for the higher resolution audience.
