What sucks for me is that the site I'm redoing at work, for our law firm, might have to stick with 800x600 becuase our office computer environment (thin-client terminal server) has everyone by default at 800x600. Individual users don't know how to change it.
Luckily I'm on a standalone.But in building the site, people there are going to use it, and it's like I know people are going to complain and say "This doesn't fit in my window."

Even as people on desktops move away from 800 x 600, there are still many people using laptops, that stick them to 800x600. It' s still going to be a bit longer until 800x600 is dead.

with the rapid growth of laptops, tablet pcs, wireless devices, e-books and etc expect an average user's resolution shift back to 800x600

You know, I also see the limitation as a positive thing with regard to content. Think about it it, if you've given yourself a smaller size overall, you're going to work harder (maybe) to make sure the design and layout is perfect, everything in it's place.
With a larger layout, you might sacrifice what may have been a clean, condensed, minimal layout for someting larger and with way more areas for your eyes to go. Items of importance, then, can get lost unless you've categorized all that properly.

I disagree with the "Laptops==800x600".
The last 2 laptops I've had couldn't even go lower than 800x600. They've ditched 800x600 a while ago.
