‘Keynote vs. PowerPoint’ article needed

Filed under: Software
Rob Griffiths mentions his article at MacWorld, on how Apple’s latest version of it’s Keynote software stacks up. I appreciate this article, and I would like to try this software out, since I never have, and I’ve heard it’s a great alternative to the monopoly of PowerPoint – when it comes to "presentation sofware." I would like an alternative to PowerPoint, and something that is made specifically for a Mac. Keynote is it. However, I am always unsure about spending money up front, on software I’ve never used. That is why I appreciate 30–day trial periods. Nine times out of ten, I usually end up purchasing the software, simply because the trial period helped to discover if the software was useful or not. Apple obviously doesn’t offer trial periods for it’s software. That being the case, maybe a good "PowerPoint vs. Keynote" article would help shed some light on the positives and negatives of each program. By highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each program, people who have used PowerPoint their whole lives could then see the distinct differences, and it would help them make the transition to Keynote. I am open to all new software possibilities, especially when it means breaking away from a Microsoft product. I don’t mean to sound cynical, but change is always good. Comments/Mentions |

I was looking at I-life and I - work yesterday when i was picking up my baby (my powerbook not a actual child) I like keynote, it seems to be able to do more than powerpoint, there seemed to be more options, i liked it very much and a nice altenative to powerpoint. I also saw the new minimac which i strongly believe will get more people to cross over to macs. I have both a mac and pc and i dont like the pc at all. My newest project is to get my parents to get rid of their beloved pc and get a mini mac, it will make their lives so much easier
