Keynote and PowerPoint

I know there’s a tendency among some (usually
young, which I am NOT) Macintosh-centric people to
throw rocks at Microsoft, and I don’t subscribe
to it generally. Everything has its place. But
I’ve found myself having to do some
presentation work on PowerPoint lately, and my God,
who knew it could be this bad?
Keynote (OS X):
PowerPoint (Windows):
I’ve never seen anything less intuitive and more infuriating - from the viewpoint of someone just trying to get some necessary work done on a tight schedule - than PowerPoint 2007. At least the earlier versions had a menu interface that made sense! I am absolutely certain that with some time it all becomes usable and functional, but who in the name of God would willingly subject himself to this Hell just to put together a few decent slides?
