David,
Very insightful view of PP vs. Keynote. I firmly believe that Keynote, and just Apple as a company, is far more user-friendly, innovative and dynamic than Power Point (MS), however Apple’s problem lies in its overall price. More people have PCs than Macs, because they are cheaper. I promise you, in a couple years the debate won’t just be between PP (MS) vs. Keynote (Apple). Google will have it’s whole suite to content with (give it a couple more years to really develop).
As to why inserting a chart launches Excel……like you mentioned it’s all about the marketing ploy. They want to establish how “easy” their suite performs in terms of integration of one program into another. Their defense is, why should we create chart features in Power Point, when we have built an entire program to handle charts etc. Apple also does this tactic in their programs.
