I never understood the massive amount of "powerpoint h8" on the net. I had a class in college where a prof used powerpoint to poor effect, but I also had one where it was invaluable (japanese). It seems to me the quality of the presentation is dependant on the quality of the presenter. A nation of crappy powerpoint users isn't powerpoint's fault. If people want better presentations, they should demand required speech classes in college. Demanding a recall of all slideware isn't suddenly going to make these inept speakers brilliant -- they're just going to be even more incoherent, resulting in probably even less than 40-80 words of understanding transmitted.
