Design your site for your target group and keep them happy, who cares if a couple of random visitors who are not going to use your site anyway have to scroll a bit?

This seems a bit callous. What if one of the people that was turned away from your site was a potentially large client that you've lost because he happens to use some unexpected resolution to browse at. And then you're also assuming that people access your site with their browser maximised.
Reasoning like this will also get you to create websites entirely in Flash, because most people have Flash installed, or code sites that only work in IE.
It makes more sense to develop sites that will be viewable in any resolution on any platform. It encourages good coding and design principles, and will save a lot of hassle when Microsoft release yet another version of their browser that's not backwards-compatible with their proprietary standards.
