My boss and I are having a dispute about whether users like it when a pop-up (in this case containing a demo) fills the entire screen or not.
I need your opinions on this matter please.

So no they don't like it when it fills the screen?

It sucks

i think users would like a choice. It's damned annoying when it happens unexpectedly.

Ok sweet, so far everyone agrees with my stance on it.

since you said it's a demo, for things like cdrom's and the like, no, it's not bad, but for web stuff, hell yes. it's damn annoying.

I don't mind if it's a cd presentation of some sort but the more I surf around, the less tolerant I've become of sites launching in pop windows in general.
I don't mind if I know it's an image that's going to pop up to show a bigger version but I've not seen a site, flash or otherwise that's actually needed to open in a pop window.
As for giving users a choice, bollocks. Don't use them, you don't need to.

Thanks all for the comments.

Almost always it's a pain. I don't like the screen being filled by a popup unless it's some killer work.

FUCK FULL SCREEN

It depends of your target audience, and the project, I agree if you have to use it you could give the user the option.
If you are targeting web designers I would say don't do it, they get extremelly irritated when someone writes a sentence using caps, can you imagen what they would do to your site if you make it fullscreen?

you're boss is a numbskull if he thinks a user wants to fill the entire screen. persoanlly, and most of the users I know hate that. rather have it be centered and like 800 x 700 or something.

jevad and v3 don't like my logo.
