Like always, some of the above are superior and some parts are not, e.g. 
almost anything is better than WMP or Outlook (mentioning OE in the same line 
is strange because that's the worst of all). However, the OO.org Presenter 
does not really compare to PowerPoint and many will agree GIMP is not 
superior to Photoshop (equal in many parts, though).
It does not help to put good software down just because they are from MS or 
don't run with Debian. Instead, take them as motivation that there are still 
things to improve.
