I play the game in windowed mode. This way I can play other games or read forums at the same time. Its a nice way to multitask.

Windowed so I can multitask. Sometimes I'm fortunate enough to have dual screens.

Always windowed. Usually I have mIRC, PiratesOnlineForums.com, and maybe a music player running behind POTCO, and that makes it alot easier for me to flip in-between things.

Maximized. It keeps it so that I'm playing in full screen, yet I can still switch in and out of different windows at will.

Windowed. I like to have Itunes or maybe POF. But mostly because I got used to.

Fullscreen - I like to concentrate on the game and having other stuff open would be a distraction. I have enough trouble keeping up with chat! P)

Fullscreen, use two computers, flat screens/keyboards/mice side by side.. one to game and one to do whatever else... (even occasionally run a 2nd game).

Totally depends. If it's really late or early and I'm not expecting an IM, maximized. If I'm IMing, Venting, or whatever, windowed. Sometimes windowed with 2 Pirates running. One very memorable night I had 3 different IMs, Vent, and Pirates all running in different windows at the same time. It was also a very busy guild night, and the guild chat was hopping too. Talk about lag!

Maximised, my computer crashes when I use fullscreen. It basically is full, just with a toolbar.
