While you cannot legally download Powerpoint without paying Microsoft
lots of money, you can download the OOo (OpenOffice.org) office suite,
that includes a presentation component called Impress. With Impress your
son can create presentations in much the same way as he would with
Powerpoint. OOo can open and save files in Powerpoint file format.

I think what your son's friend meant was that you can download software
equivalent to Powerpoint,

When you go to the OOo website look for "Impress" not "Powerpoint".
Check out the following links:

Basic information about Impress:
http://www.openoffice.org/product/impress.html

Lots of support and documentation about OOo:
http://support.openoffice.org/index.html

Download OOo from:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.2/index.html

Because OOo is not a group of separate programs (eg. MS Office) you have
to download the complete OOo suite. You cannot just download just the
Impress presentation component.

Hope this helps.
