if you design for 800x600, you really end up designing the width to be between 752-780 (depending on how conservative you are - Win IE / Mac IE has different size right scrollbars)
but what is the height you design for to eliminate scrolling (for the most part)?
(i don't use icons or the favorites bar, so i know i see more than most)
is 500px high too much?

440-460 px should do the trick (in maximized browser window).

really? it must have been a crazy dream i had thinking i could squeeze 500px out of a windows 800x600 screen.

just a dream i'm afriad. I always play safe with 400 or 420. If you turn on the status bar and links bar in IE they take up a lot of room

so far safe for me is 740 x 480.
I have not had a complaint yet.
Bring it on!
