Great article from rom the New York Times... I personally have an extreme dislike to sitting through inane PowerPoint presentations...

We Have Met the Enemy and He Is PowerPoint

WASHINGTON — Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the leader of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan, was shown a PowerPoint slide in Kabul last summer that was meant to portray the complexity of American military strategy, but looked more like a bowl of spaghetti.

Well... not PowerPoint is the enemy but the people failing to realize that a good presentation is short and, well, to the point - which the above is anything else. The good thing is that in old time you#d have to read a paper weighing in at a few hundred pages and then have a guy talk a whole weeekend about the matter and using tons of flip chart paper...
