PowerPoint 2007

Holy cow.

This new version of PowerPoint is simply to DIE FOR.

I'm telling you - once you see what it can do you will no longer visit my site or others to create your own masterpiece presentations.

I was lucky enough to be part of the beta group testing it... and this thing kicks ass.

Simply beautiful and intuitive. I loved it. Go play the demo if you get a minute and tell me what impressed YOU most!

Let me know what you think... send me a comment if you have a minute...
