Browser Resolutions and Webpage Widths

With widescreen computers as popular as they are today, and with Firefox's usage now nearing 50% market share, I'm hoping that we're coming to a point where the web becomes a uniformly interpreted platform and is used for even more serious computing. I've already stopped pandering to people who don't move with the times. Many of my sites don't work in Internet Explorer and I put up a special disclaimer to those users instructing them to upgrade to Firefox, Safari, or even Chrome for that matter.

The Importance of Consistency

I'm a designer who really doesn't like unique interfaces. Sometimes they're cool, but more often than not, they suck. They end up taking an interesting piece of functionality and making it way too hard to learn or use. Some claim they did this to "preserve the brand," claiming they have to ensure that the user must be aware what product they're using while they're using it, that how else will they get the user to get their other stuff?
