On behalf of Keynote - it works great, there are feature holes as 
always, but the big one that I want to see filled should come when 
WebCore is completed and Safari 1.0 final is released. WebCore should 
allow for rendering of web content and HTML from within a slideshow 
rather than outputing the task to a web browser as PowerPoint does. I 
am also hoping future updates bring more control over audio syncing and 
sound editing to give users greater ability to use audio in 
presentations, perhaps fade in and outs of audio levels, multiple audio 
tracks with varying sound levels and start points, and presentation 
wide rather than single slide audio integration. I also think that more 
tweaking can and will come in the form of control over build-ins and 
build-outs and QuickTime video control.

Keynote is a huge step up from PowerPoint in terms of ease of use and 
if one considers both ease of use and features I would contend that 
even with some of its holes Keynote is still equal or stronger overall.

Oh, and I have to ask - price jump? It didn't go up any, it was just 
charged for, I assume that Keynote 2.0 will be charged for same as 1.0, 
I also expect that in about 9-12 months when 10.3 comes out that it 
will be charged for, that is their pricing model.
