We have several different netbooks here at work and I love them for exactly what you plan to use it for...email, surfing, and the occasional Office document, especially when I'm at home, sitting in front of the TV.

With that said, you do have to get used to the screen size and the keyboard size.

As for your other questions...

-Have never had issues with websites not working...there will be more scrolling, of course.
-Keyboard takes some getting used to.
-Battery life depends on the unit...the ones I've used have been accpetable (2 hours or so depending on what I'm doing)
-Screw MS...download OpenOffice or use Google Apps...but if you must use Office, you'll have to get a USB CD/DVD drive.
