Literature about PowerPoint

[Sascha Serwe]

Hi,

I am searching for scientific literature about PowerPoint. I am
interested in the following themes:

- Statistics about number of users, maybe country-specific, maybe
development in recent years
- Usability of PowerPoint
- Impact of PowerPoint on communication processes (as for example bullet
point discussion introduced by Edward Tufte)
- utility and drawbacks for companies and organizations

Can anybody help me? My primary interest are research papers in
scientific journals. But I am interested as well in good books or
internetlinks dealing with these topics.

Thanks a lot,Sascha
