Are there any good alternatives to PowerPoint?
----------------------------------------------

launched, but what if you just don't want to 'experience' this
latest upgrade from Microsoft? You may be thinking, 'What
choice do I have? What other presentation software is there?'.

information on other presentation software packages.
