We already introduced Dell's new laptop wonder, the Z600, to you earlier this week. What makes this laptop special is that it contains a small ARM motherboard which runs a special version of openSUSE Linux, allowing for instant access to basic functionality like checking email, browsing the web, and playing multimedia files. What's news, at least for OSNews, is that research from Dell has shown that people spent 70% of their time in the Linux environment.

Even though a large chunk of netbook users spend a large chunk of their time doing only email and web stuff, the fact that they can run Office or matlab or whatever they need if they have to is a huge selling point.
So even they only run powerpoint 1% of time that they're using their netbook, removing the ability to run powerpoint lowers the usefulness of the netbook by a lot more than 1%.
