Especially true if you're the one stuck with the duty of making them look good. I saw this at Siggraph and was not only impressed with the look but the number of people packed into the booth to see it demoed, competing side by side with real time 3D game renders and high-end effects software."

Did you read the article/site? This isn't about Microsoft PowerPoint... It's about a NEW presentation software called OfficeFX. The _new_ video card is required because this new 3D software is extremely demanding.
