[IxDA Discuss] browser window size stats/studies ?

[Gerard]

Hej Jack,

Could be that people don't understand the maximize button. I just 
observe that a lot of "common users" stick to what they get, even if 
this is a window of about 200*200 pixels. I've seen people surf with a 
window like that! If one thinks about it: does that second button from 
the right top "afford" maximization? It has to be learned I think, like 
most icons.

Regards,
Gerard
