Keynote is what you would imagine Mac's answer to PowerPoint to be: Better mechanically (smoother animation, e.g.) and stylistically (more refined 'auto effects' for whatever that's worth). But there's something fundamentally sleazy about the premise of these programs–to persuade others. And dangerous too, since it puts a vast array of design tools in the hands of exactly the type of people who should not have access to them.

Hmmm... I must admit I have not even opened Keynote but I have been told quite resolutely by another designer that keynote wipes the floor with PP.
I do agree though it is certainly not as widely distributed as PP
I always create interactive PDF's for my clients.
- Ah no, Keynote has better text handing, and its easier to layout pages and the animations are better, all true.ian

Keynote is the same shit as PP but with more gradients and shines. The clients prefer it but not as easy to distribute as PP and if you don't got a mac you have to export it in a readable format ie pdf, qt movie or for fucks sake, power point.
Sorry Ive had to use it recently and the experience was not a good one.
- I disagree. The great function with keynote is that save slides as pdf.epete22

Bullshit it may be, but the punters can use it and, frankly - what other option is there, really?
Crazy that web design's still so hard for normal people to accomplish - hypertext really should be an ideal presentation vehicle.

It's sweet....be sure and use lots of "swiping" effects....that one is very modern.
haha it's actually not that bad for it's intended use (presentations).
