Keynote is Apple's flagship presentation program that's easy to use and yet generates drop-dead stunning presentations from photography portfolios to business presentations.
It now has the power to amaze your audience with cinema-quality presentations that tell a story effectively and dramatically. If all you've ever used is PowerPoint up to now, you're going to be blown away by both the power and fun keynote makes of putting presentations together. The reason is PowerPoint is optimised for Windows but Keynote is optimised for Macs.
You can add transitions and effects into it that are simply not possible with PowerPoint, including moving objects via animations. Adding and removing backgrounds is simply a drag and drop process with Instant Alpha, there are some stunning themes to choose from and where photo presentations are concerned, you only have to drag and drop photos and Keynote does the rest.
Keynote is a triumph for presentation makers and you'll never go back to PowerPoint once you've explored just a few of it's stunning features.

Keynote is great and i love all of it's amazing features. Keynote for one is better, and about $100 cheaper. (Trust me, i have had each of them on my macbook pro). Also, Keynote is an app that you can have on any tablet. (I have it on mine). Overall, Keynote is better and more advanced than microsoft powerpoint.
