It is nothing to do with the Rosetta vs. not rosetta (i.e. Intel vs. PPC). I can assure you that large (or small) presentations open slowly, edit slowly, and in general suck on PPT2004.
I far prefer Keynote, but I am the only Mac person in my company, so creating/editing in Keynote, and exporting to PPT is painful, so I just cave in and live with the PPT glitches.
I really tried to avoid the MS mail solution, and tried a few other clients (mail with the "imap" exchange mode, Eudora both as an imap client and a pop3 client, and finally mailsmith).
However, since I travel a lot (23 weeks this year so far) and our VPN solution is piss-poor, I gave Entourage 2004 a try.
Sureprisingly, it was easy to setup, it works via WebDAV so I can be lounging in a Starbucks in Indiana, sipping a cup o' joe, and get my mail like I was in the office, without using the lame OWA interface.
I would have to say that the Entourage 2004 mail client is worth the upgrade for the entire Office package.
(Powerpoint is still a blight on humanity though).

Entourage 2004 is actually pretty good.

Doesn't work for me either. It wouls also be nice to have a key equivalent for the sound up/down/mute keys too. Oh well. Geoff
