I'm designing a website for some non-technical types (but not home users, business owners, primarily) and am wondering if you know what resolution the most prevalent monitors in medium size businesses are these days.

...
The reason this is pressing is that CSS is truly not accommodating of liquid screen sizes/resolutions. Pretty depressing really. CSS was obviously designed by aesthetic totalitarians (Style Nazis), I must say.

So anyway, anyone know where I can find good data on the Web (i.e., inexpensive but reliable) about who is using what resolution of monitor? I'm not interested in opt-in polls.
