Default Google: View Slideshows

For a while now, Google has allowed you to view Powerpoint slideshows sent to your gmail account as an html document. Today, they have added a new option for powerpoint presentations. You can now view them as a slideshow. They achieve this by using AJAX. When viewing the presentation, all animations/transitions are stripped from it. However, slide backgrounds and other images are displayed.

The next step is for them to allow you to create slideshows using Google Docs. But I have a feeling that that will take a little longer.

As a side note, Google also increased the max attachment size to 20mb. This should be more than enough to accommodate your powerpoint presentations.

Thats sounds very cool.

Google are giving office a good run for their money. I don't use Gmail much, but the more I hear about it, the more i think i should.

Well, I hate the gmail interface. However, all the features they offer were too much for me to pass up. As a result, I use thunderbird to read my gmail account, and only use the gmail interface when I'm away from my computer or want to try out some new features.

I never said I hated gmail. I said I wasn't fond of the interface. I like everything else about it. Thats why I chose to use it
