The most common is that people very frequently don't have their browsers maximized. This was an attempt to measure the absolute maximum width we could hope for, but going smaller is certainly helpful in many cases.

I'm personally not a fan of fluid designs. I like to have more control over a user's overall experience. In terms of browser resolutions, I think designing for 1024 is critical because the overall effectiveness of a website when using that extra real estate. Besides, new computers come standard with 1024 resolution so that's pretty nice. Keep up the good thoughts and work. Talk to you later, Chris Nice thoughts Phil.
