I can agree to certain extent that browser window sizes are issues when right menus are concerned. But looking at the trend a lot of companies are opting to look different and it is this vision that prompts them to change in the way we perceive or interpret user experience.
Most of the browsers are viewed with maximized windows and with options of adding a tab within the browser window the users by default would maximize the windows. This will not allow the right hand side menus to go out of the browser windows. Moreover if you look at the trend, more users are shifting to resolution larger than 1024x768. If we have to consider left-right human tendency to scan visual data then if a user does not find menu to the left the next things is to look at top and then to the right. This would waste lot of user time and hence I recommend using high contrast menus on the right hand side. Hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
