My browser windows have been approx 1/2 of my screen width for as long as I can remember, at least on desktop machines.

(terminals and emacs through, more like 1/3)

Even on a 1024x600 netbook?

No, the netbook is usually maximized (ubuntu netbook remix), but back when I had a PowerBook duo, the end of the 030era, I was running windows about 400px wide on a 640 px screen. Screens have gotten bigger, but for desktops, vie generally been at about 1/2 the screen, and laptops at 1/2-2/3 or so. I've gotten into some epic... Discussions of fluid layouts and how just because my browser was reporting lots a pixels, the layout wasn't getting them.
