Cons Lacks some OS X features: PowerPoint for Mac borrows some useful features from the Windows side, but it is very much a Mac app.

Still, it doesnt use OS Xs Autosave or support the ability to rename, tag, and change the location of a document in a documents title bar.

Bottom Line Apples Keynote is a natural choice for Mac users looking for presentation software.

But the Mac version of PowerPoint -- with its new design tools, ability to customize themes and share presentations, and availability across platforms and devices -- is a solid, easy-to-use tool for building effective presentations and should not be overlooked.
