Post your thoughts on phasing out 800x600 and start designing for 1024x768 and up

My thinking has always been to build for the least common denominator. I remember when java and javascript was just cool and not considered evil. But it took years before IE decided to include it in their browser. They just kept fighting it and fighting it coming up with their own crap. Until finally they decided to use it.

So, until you see 90% or more using more than 800x600, stick with it. Of course, you could always design 2 copies and let them choose. When I built my first adult site, there was a little script that looked at the resolution and sent the person to the proper designed site. Then again, that was back when you could make a nice living on just one site. So, I had plenty of time to play around with it.
