no time soon. almost all the statistics say 800x600 is what 50% of the web is running.
However, even if 800x600 was replaced by 1024x768 or even 1280x1024, it would not be smart to start making sites any bigger than 800x600 considering most people running in higher resolutions do so in order to have more screen space for multiple applications.
I'm willing to bet that most of NT users run in between 1280x1024 and 1920x1080, and I'm also willing to bet that mabye 5% browse the web with a their browser maximized.
I never maximize my browser, and no one else here at work does that I know of either.
So if you're asking this because you want to make sites that are larger than 760x500, well then you'd better wait.
If you can't create a solid design in 760x500, odds are you haven't found a very effective or efficient layout for your design problem.
