I have never considered myself a PowerPoint hater...I use it at conferences, I'd like to think I can make a pretty dynamic PPT, and putting them on Slideshare for others has proven popular, at least I have a decent hit count. I work at a university where I get MSOffice for free, and while I have largely moved to Google Apps, I remain relatively content with PowerPoint, and haven't had much desire to move from it.
So what on earth would come along to make me tell you that I WILL NEVER MAKE ANOTHER POWERPOINT AGAIN?
Can I just say how much I LOVE Prezi? It's like having a table onto which you can dump the contents of your brain (and your document folders), arrange and rearrange your content, and then add a path to which you are not beholden to stick...jump (or let others jump) around as you/your audience please/s.
And again, 100MB of free space to create...the price is right! AND...once I have perfected my Prezi, I can download a self-contained Flashapp presentation that plays nice with any computer I use....or link out to it...or embed it wherever I like embedding things....
I like this one so much, I'm likely to upgrade this one to take advantage of the offline creator for use in our faculty development center.
Please share with me your Prezi stories...I can't be the only one out here who is smitten with this app!

Hi, thanks for your post and your interest in Prezi!
Let me add 3 more things why Prezi helps you to create a better presentation:
a. With Prezi you can see the big picture and the details easily, so you can make sure that the content of your presentation makes sense.
b. Prezi’s spatial layout help you to convey message better, since our brain is wired to think large spaces rather then slides.
c. As a presenter, you can avoid long boring monologues (death by bullet points), and encourage audience involvement by moving across the canvas.
Keep on using Prezi and don't hesitate to ping me with any questions!
