Apple have Keynote (not sure if this has been released yet).  I think 
Macromedia Flash would be excellent for presentations.  Pity I haven't 
gotten around to learning it yet.  Powerpoint is extremely limiting.

Regardless of the software I found the list of hints to contain some good 
suggestions.  Most of the presentations I see at work are pretty badly 
done.  The two biggest problems are putting far too much information on a 
slide, and using unreadable colours.  Oh and the content does tend to be 
quite boring at times ;)

But what annoys me most is when people don't add a closing slide so you 
either get the "end of show, click to exit" screen, or it goes back into 
the editing screen.

Cheers,
