Note to Microsoft: thank you SO MUCH for killing every other presentation software on the market. PowerPoint always has been a pile of shit. It’s been painfully obvious that you have no interest in making it anything more than a heftier pile of shit, and yet you did everything you could to crush the “competition.” So a big ol’ RIP to: Adobe Persuasion, Lotus Freelance, Harvard Graphics, Cricket Presents, Astound!, and the rest of the names that have faded into oblivion. Some of them were pretty crappy, of course, but Persuasion was a better program when it died eight years ago than PowerPoint is now. So bite me, Microsoft. You are a pain in the ass in all ways, and this is just a small reason why.
PowerPoint can suck it

Please Dave, tell us how you really feel.
Funny, there’s this app called Keynote that I’ve tinkered with a ‘lil bit that quickly massaged all the PowerPoint angst out of my neck and shoulders. I do emote with the reality of nerfherder clients. ;P More than enough PP graphs have passed through my Illustrator workflow :(
I bought Keynote a while back. It’s a pretty damn nice program. Problem is that all the corporate guys are stuck with PP; most of them are still running Win2k, fercryinoutloud.
