“The version of PowerPoint that I have to compare Keynote to isn’t the latest and “greatest,” but as some may argue, with the lack of macro support in Office 2008, the older, PPC-based version may be the better of the two Microsoft offerings. Personally, all I have is 2004 and given how I can’t support Microsoft’s anti-competitive no-macro move, Office 2004 is what I’ve got.”

Three pros that I know use Keynote are Garr Reynolds, Nancy Duarte, and Al Gore (An Inconvenient Truth, his slide show, is in Keynote). I also have gone to technical seminars where at least half of the presenters were using Keynote rather than PowerPoint.
