I'm always amused by people who have big, hires screens and want to
maximize windows.  In my opinion, on a 20" wide screen, I want layouts
to be narrow enough to be in a nice tall window that's narrow enough to
allow easy reading.  Now of course a fixed width design should be based
on ems, not pixels (sadly this layout is not based on ems, which is a
problem).  That way you can enlarge the font and see the entire layout
expand for easier reading.  Letting the text spread out wide is not
readable.
