When giving these numbers about screen resolution, I don't think it takes into account the size of the browser, but only the size of the screen.
For example my screen resolution is 1440x900 but i can't remember the last time that I ever had the Firefox window full screen. Typically mac users do not suffer from the maximized window paradigm that windows users face, I usually keep my browser windows about 1000px wide since most sites are built around 960px and leave room for cascading programs and such. A site that is optimized for much larger than 1024px is probably not a good idea.

- marcamillion 16y agoThat's a lot harder to quantify though, isn't it? Especially if you are a small team, or single founder, building a web app.
