Many people confuse the general category "presentation graphics" with a
specific brand and product line of software.
It is a problem for us that too many people use one particular brand name
instead of the general term "presentation graphics". For many of these
people, the brand name *is* presentation graphics and for them there is
only one. Others know better, but contribute to the problem by not using
the correct term.
Newpapers make that mistake and I see even major magazines like Time and
Newsweek make that mistake.
It's a matter of marketing. If we can start insisting on editors saying
"presentation graphics" when they mean presentation graphics, and not say
"MS PowerPoint (r)" when they mean "presentation graphics", we open the
opportunity to bring in OOo and Impress. If we leave it be, we leave the
market with one single product whether we want to or not.
