Re: Anything similar to Powerpoint?

yes latex rules,

spend a bit of time getting your slide (color) template and pdf stuff 
ok, then save time, get better looking presentation (with less fluff) 
and have a truely sharable presentation.

i have played with texpower with pdflatex and dvipdfm with good 
results.  on the downside its difficult to get a good answer to which 
is the best combination of packages to use that provide good 
functionality with simplicity.
