I'm glad to see PowerPoint mentioned. I use a variety of tools, but lately I've been having great success with PP, I think for a couple of reasons. One, my audiences (including a very wide variety of internal and external clients) are familiar with PowerPoint, and can see that I'm showing them a prototype done in PP rather than working code. Two, most of my audiences aren't aware of the interactive capabilities of modern versions of PP and so can suspend disbelief long enough to really get a feel for how the application will work. I do wireframes and screen grabs, then import them into PP and create the interactivity. Of course, this only works for a scripted demonstration--if I were going to let people get their hands on it, I'd use HTML and CSS with a bit of Flash.
