Five rules for PowerPoint

This is a nice find by Long Zheng via the PowerPoint team blog. Nancy Duarte and Duarte Design are presentation geniuses and Slideology should be on the bookshelf of anyone who presents or writes presentations for a living. The PowerPoint team got together with Duarte to put together a slide sample that is included in PowerPoint 2010 and really shows what you can do with the software. I count myself as quite good with PowerPoint but this showed me up to be a true amateur. It’s their rules that really count though so even if you don’t have PowerPoint and just wanted to be a better presenter, this is 5 minutes well invested.

Of course you can get PowerPoint 2010 if you’d like to play How do you get it?  First, you need to download the Microsoft Office 2010 Public Beta.
