Screen sizes take into account the size from ‘edge’ to ‘edge’ of the screen. That includes your taskbar and any other bars you may have running. When you maximise a browser window at 1024px x 768px – the ‘viewable area’ maybe be considerably less depending on how many toolbars you have (address bar, google bar, yahoo! bar, links etc), whether you have any scrollbars and also how large your taskbar is.
