problem obviously is you have to scroll up and down a lot more often in widscreen vs standard aspect ratio. (and obviously you can't compare 1920x1080 vs 1280x1024, since one has almost double the pixel)
photo editing: well, a lot of the vertical space are already taken up by the program tabs, options, status bar...etc
and the vertical space is usually what restrict how big you can zoom the photos on the screen and still see everything.
I hate it when ppl talk about widescreen as if you only get more width, but totally ignore the fact that you lose the vertical space

No they don't ... The full ribbon length of the default Home ribbon in Excel 2010 is 1760 pixels wide ...
Also, way to just completely ignore the fact that you can customize the ribbon, which allows you to add way more commands and that you can rotate any decent widescreen monitor to give you far more vertical space if that's what you really want.
How do I lose vertical space, exactly ? Care to point out some 24" 4:3 or 5:4 monitors for me the OP to consider instead of the hundreds of widescreen models ?
