Microsoft OfficeLabs releases pptPlex
Wow the OfficeLabs guys are on a good run of late. Hot on the heels of SpeedLaunch they released pptPlex today.
Taking inspiration from the Plex technology used in the Bill Gates’s TouchWall demonstration at the CEO Summit, OfficeLabs have created a prototype that allows people to have similar zooming capabilities using Office PowerPoint 2007. With pptPlex you can show slides on a zoomable canvas moving around the canvas to show groups of slides, individual slides, or zoom in to display a particular section of a slide. Cool….off to play!
[update] WOW!!!!!!!!! I played and I LOVE IT – this is the biggest PowerPoint revolution in a long time.

lol..PowerPoint is only for business users. No use for students and end users. We're stuck in 2008 with bulleted-style presentations. Look at Apple's Keynote. 3D transitions, 3D effects. MS have Windows PRESENTATION Foundation. Why not create a from scratch app in WPF?
