You missed my point: BOO, SO and MSOFFICE are all suites that have 
applications
that work together. In any of these suites, if I have a presentation and a 
word processing document, you can have interaction between the word 
processing document, and the presentation document through API's. This is why 
power users like business suites: For the ability of the different apps to 
share data.  Powerpoint presentations, by themselves, may be *only* eye 
candy. But the data that composes the eye candy and it's proper display are 
the underlying issues.
