Wow, is that legit? That slide pretty much breaks the rule of "information overload". It looks too busy and doesn't effectively get the information out as efficiently as Jobs'.

Yeah, www.presentationzen.com does some great comparisions between Apple keynotes and other companies, particularly MS.

Mind you, they are not really comparing.... um.... apples to apples. One is trying (and failing) to show a full package of products whilst the over is (successfully) showing a very simple plot of a sales ofr a single product.

I agree that the MS slide is a trainwreck, but the Apple slide is not representing the same type of information.

I'm sure Steve would spread this kind of thing over multiple slides or provide a little animation.
