It seems to me that if we're going to be increasingly forced to use 16:9 displays, OS & application developers should increasingly offer better "on the side" interfaces rather than just top/bottom interfaces -- that would free up more vertical space, by making better use of all that excess horizontal space.

Your T60 is either 1024x768 (XGA) or 1400x1050 (SXGA+)...








Days of serious vertical resolution are about to be gone forever...

My T60 has a 1280*1024 (I think) screen. If I have to go 16:9 I don't want to


give up vertical


resolution - give me 1920*1080.
