800x600 / 1024x768 / 1280x??? Specifically
This page is a part of "Actual Browser Sizes"
A number of people have requested data specifically for the most common screen sizes - 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x???.
800x600
At 800x600 almost everyone browse maximized.
You can target 90% of your visitors by designing for 768px (800px without the browser border and toolbars). It gets a little trickier if you want to design for higher percentages.
1024x768
At 1024x768 there isn't much difference.
1280x???
At 1280x??? we start to see the first real changes in browsing behavior. The majority still browses with the full width of the screen (60%), but there are also a lot of people who size their browser close to 1024px.

It would be interesting to see some numbers for the popular now 1920 x 1200, 1680 x 1050, 2560 x 1600 and such.

I'd like to see the numbers for those higher-res displays myself ... but I think I'd like for the numbers to be higher. They're immensely useful ( especially for photography ), and once you get used to ample real estate, it feels a little claustrophobic going back to 800x600.
Still, I don't run the browser maximized with a big screen...

1024 x 768 was the most widespread screen resolution until recently.
According to my last month stats (about 25,000 visits):
1024x768 - 35.07%
1280x1024 - 22.02%
1280x800 - 12.78%
=other resolutions take the rest %
Summary:
1024x768 - 35.07%
1280x... - 34.80%
So 1280x starts spreading...
