Apple Keynote 3 is a true competitor to PowerPoint, especially with its low price and advanced features.
Keynote 3 is the latest iteration of Apple's slide-show-creation software, released in conjunction with Pages 2 as Apple iWork '06. Keynote is a pro-level tool, probably the application most able to compete with the 10-ton gorilla, Microsoft's PowerPoint. You can't buy Keynote 3 separately, so you'll have to determine for yourself whether it's worth paying for both programs, though the suite's price point is low enough so that it just doesn't matter.
Installing iWork '06 is a simple matter of double-clicking the installer application on the iWork '06 CD-ROM; the installer program takes you through the steps of agreeing to the terms of use, deciding where you want to place the applications, and reviewing the options for installing extras or just one of the bundled programs.
Upon launch, Keynote 3 offers a range of themes that can set the overall look and feel of your presentation. If you want to stick with the provided themes as they are, you can use the application's basic interface -- little but the project contents will be visible. For advanced work, you can call up toolbars with commonly used tools, a media browser integrated with the iLife applications, and a single Inspector window, which is a floating palette with tabs for layouts, tables, text formatting, charts, and more. Keynote 3 also includes a transparent palette for adjusting photos, much like in Apple's professional photo adjustment and management application, Aperture.
