In my work, I use 750 x 550 when pushing for maximum space but allowing for menubars/taskbars, etc. Otherwise, 700 x 500 should be pretty safe for most situations. It's unlikely you'll ever have a 100% foolproof size, though, since Windows taskbars can double (triple?) up in height depending on the number of icons present. If sizing is an absolute necessity, your stack should be designed to be scalable with standard minimize and maximize controls present. If you want to be anal, test 750 x 550 on a Windows box with large fonts enabled to make sure your stack still fits. I may be wrong but I seem to recall using large fonts only adds about 4 pixels vertically to any line of type (titlebars and taskbar).
