Our company is a classic Mac/PC culture clash, with the creative department totally Mac, and the rest of the company on PC’s. Besides the cool factor of the Macs, there is a notable distinction between the two cultures whenever a presentation is done, as the PC users are encumbered by the clunkiness of PowerPoint, whereas the Mac users have much a much more robust option by using Keynote.

SlideRocket just leveled the playing field with its new “Zeta” release.

Its freeware version comes with 250MB storage and an unlimited number of presentations. Upgraded versions for $10 or $20 per user/month, offer up to a GB of store per user, and have a variety of collaborative features, and even a web meetings version at the $20/month level.

Its asset management tools are outstanding, allowing all kinds of image enhancement and 3-D modeling, much like Keynote.

Plus, because all the assets are online, sharing and collaborating are a breeze, and so is accessing the presentation from wherever you happen to be.

They should be paying me for this stuff.

Again, details in Techcrunch.
