Of course the poll is a method, but this one leaves too much conditions for errors. More of an information would give a question "do you browse web full screen, maximized or windowed".

I prefer a poll, people who care will vote, people who accidentally stop by because they were linked to an article here might not see the poll.

I simply assume there are far more people who surf maximized than in a tiny window somewhere tucked away in right top corner of your screen at a width/height of 356x281 Desktop resolution is only a guideline to know what the approximate size of a website can be so a user can view the entire width at once without side scrolling. Nobody forces you to view it maximized, but I assume most people do when cruising around the net as many don't like to side scroll.
