When will 1024x768 Replace 800x600 for Web Design?

Dr.X asks: "It seems as users get bigger and better monitors and video cards, the standard for web resolution is slowly approaching 1024. There is a fairly in depth answer over at Google stating that we are likely to be safe at 800x600 but when will we hit 1024 as the standard. What's Slashdot's opinion?"

    Even $*&%&* IT people who should know better don't change the default of 800x600, even if it's on a ^*%* high-end flat-screen that only looks good at 1280x1024.

    And they ALWAYS leave it in 16-bit color.

    This is at both of the IT jobs I've had.

    What the %*&^ is up with that?

    Great suggestion. Also, stop filling their heads with grandiose titles like 'webmaster'. As far as I'm concerned if they have a degree from Hogwarts, by all means wave the webmaster degree with pride. The rest are just delusional.

    One's own ignorance is bliss. It's the ignorance of others which is Hell.

    Master? What master? Usually the people who are actually coding the website are so far down the chain of command, they are not the master of anything. Infact, it felt more like webslave to me.
