Because you cannot arrive at a conference with a 80MB installation and insist to
install this on the computer used for the presentations, only to be able to show
your OOo Impress presentation. 
However you can do this with either a standalone .exe presentation or a small ,
viewer-only programm that does not need a installation procedure but only a
doubleclick on the .exe file to start a presentation. And which can similarly
rapidly be deleted afterwards. 
In the moment, at least in the life sciences area that I know well, conferences
and seminars are based on Windows Powerpoint presentations, mosltly for
compatibility reasons. Already Powerpoint on MacIntosh systems give problems and
are thus avoided. In my opinion, as long as OOo does not have a
simple-to-install standalon viewer or the possibility to create from any
presentation a standalone-presentation (with the choices of including linked
files, true type fonts, a viewer, etc). By the way, Powerpoint does all of this
and the installation takes only about 5MB (excluding the presentation file), all
DLL within the same folder, so with one click you can delete all of this again. 

I can only stress again that in my opinion in life sciences OOo could have alot
more more success if you could produce a standalone presentation.
I prefer creating my presentations using OOo, however I do it never for
conferences and seminars where I cannot use my own laptop, as I do not want to
be embarrased with a presentation that has format and action problems.

Bonne fĂȘtes
