I'm trying to make my sites scale well on any resolution, but 800x600 is a little to little these days, especially when it comes to creating sites presenting lots of information. In higher resolutions you can make it more readable, so the 10x7 is a minimum, if not an optimum in some cases.

I try to make my web user interfaces as liquid as possible. I usually check they look well at 1024x768 and that they are still usable at 800x600.

I personally can't stand web sites that design for 1024x768--because they always assume your browser window is maximized. I run at 1024x768, but I don't like to have my browser windows maximized.

On the other hand, microsoft.com's main page is being smart and using the size of the browser window to determine what size graphics to display.

Well, it was a hot debate around the office, but finally we are going to 1024. We are pretty much forcing our web app users to go to this resolution.

Though on applications the company always wanted to have liquid design. The problem was they then wanted things absolutely positioned.

I design for the smallest size i.e. 800x600 and the rest is fluid. I prefer sites that reach from one side of the window to the other, whatever the size, if at a wider resolution I am seeing a site that is sized at 800x600 I figure that's because the webmaster was more concerned with eye candy rather giving information to the reader. I might be biased, as all but one of my sites are to do with information, but even on my art site it's fluid. How you work I think depends on how you started, while I might change my ideas over time in certain directions, what I like has stayed with me from the beginning because of the type of sites I produce for the content they reflect. (I am not a profesional designer) - Interesting blog btw.
