I think you'll see a lot more major companies redesigning their sites
for accessibility and speed of download as they realise that the visitor
is there for information and not entertainment. Sun lead the charge, and
many companies, our own included, have seen the light. Our Personal
Systems Group (PCs) site has been redesigned from being over 100k index
page with 30+ images to being much leaner and faster yet without any
loss of design values.
Of course, it's different for entertainment sites, and I guess you have
to decide the purpose and audience of the respective site, but for sites
where people are basically looking for information, useability is the
watchword. Watch the other companies follow.
