Yup, any good sites have content maxed out around 1000px width, just so people still using small monitors can view the sites properly.
I always leave my browser windows smaller, just because sites look so weird when all the content is in the middle, but there's so much "white space" on the sides.

I just went to NCIX today to play around with Windows 8 for a few minutes.

Not as bad as I thought, or as bad as everyone was saying it would be.

I don't need the Start button, and being a PC user that maximizes the full usage of shortcut commands, I adjusted to it pretty quickly.
And the desktop mode is pretty much the same thing. All the shortcuts are the same, so yeah.

I'm actually still on XP, and didn't feel like it was too confusing making this "big leap".
The Charm Bar is there as it is, but it's not something that windows 8 is dependant on to use (which I initially thought it was).

Anyway, I'm due for an upgrade cause my system's 5 years old.
Is there some deal where I can upgrade to Windows 8 from XP for a special deal price?
