Powerpoint playing on a loop?

Fuck powerpoint, use Flash.

yeah fuck the easy to use tool, use a more advanced piece of software that's hard to use!

Granted, Flash has a slightly higher learning curve, but once you get going off the curve, you can go so much farther than anything you can do in PowerPoint. I refuse to use PowerPoint anymore. Any time I've got a presentation to make, Flash is the way to go.

Custom animations give any organization a great aire of professionalism which is what attracts people. A good portion of today's at least partially tech-savy population can spot a PP presentation when they see one. If I saw one at a fast food joint I would think "Gee, look at that cheesy PP presentation. If they're taking the easy way out with their advertising, makes me wonder if the food will be any better." Even people who don't know the difference would probably be more attracted to a flashy, eye-catching animation than some standard PP presentation.

Plus, Flash is a crap-ton more presentable than PowerPoint, seeing as it can be viewed directly as an .swf (if you've got FlashPlayer installed on your computer), exported to a self-contained .exe for viewing, or embedded into webpages. With PowerPoint, you've gotta actually have the creation software (Microsoft PowerPoint itself) installed and running to view the finished product.

Sorry to ruin the thread, end of Flash-is-better-than-powerpoint rant.

If you don't want EA to get any credit, destroy their Refinery. Duh.
