At the end, you can do presentations with Staroffice and Powerpoint. But these little features in Keynote helps you to make really good looking presentations. The moment i saw Instant Alpha was the moment i´ve reached for my credit card. And it confirms my point, that they (my company) will have to break the Powerbook G4 out of my cold dead hands (or buy me one of this nice Mac Book Pros). Fortunatly, Sun is quite agnostic of the employees notebook, as long you don´t do your prestentation with a IBM or HP notebook (because of the difficult argumentations of it in front of the customer).

I don't think the brand of the notebook plays an important role.

What I dislike is that some Sun salespersons have the guts to appear with laptops running windows (and god behave, they are using MS-Office).

There should really be a company policy at sun that forbids anything else than (Open)Solaris, and StarOffice.

The problem: When you do presentations for a living (or almost) neither Powerpoint nor Star Impress are even close to Keynote. Many highly technical people use Macs for exacly this reason.

But you are correct: A Sun SR with a windows notebook is somewhat strange ....

Well, my few cents on this ...

- Common < place your favourite company here> SRs are non-technical folks. How should these people get a stable and useable OpenSolaris environment maintained? Ever fiddeled around w/ xorg.conf to get your notebook attached to a projector? First, Solaris needs to bring more useability to the desktop/notebook.

- IMHO, most presentations (no keynotes and/or conference presentations) are, if done by: start w/ slide 1 and end w/ slide 50 are ignoring CU needs. SRs may use presentations only in case of an emergency ...

- Sometimes I present slides w/ StarOffice on Nevada. That mainly depends on how long the CU is willing to wait until the first slide shows up.

- and btw, Windows is the defacto standard in client OS.

my 4 cents
Frank (SR w/ Windows and Nevada dual-boot env)
