I have played with Powerpoint.  It looks great.  It seems easy to use.
But I have not produced a presentation with it, and have no experience
with Harvard.  BUT ....

A good friend of mine, formerly a Harvard user, raves about Powerpoint
on the Mac.  I've seen a couple of his presentations and must admit I
was impressed --- very.  So far as I know, Microsoft simply ported the
Mac version to Windows 3.0, in keeping with their multi-platform
strategy (Winword is basically MacWord Plus).  If you're moving your
people to Windows anyway, I'd say the decision to move to Powerpoint
is in the bag.
