When I did some presentations with OOo2, the generated HTML was pretty nice. I
didn't look at the code too carefully though. It was also frameset-based.
There was a nice export-to-Flash option. I typically do presentations with Tex
(easier when you needn't collaborate on the content with PowerPoint zombies)
and latex2html can do pretty nice markup you can write some scripts on.

OpenGL is enough. DX is just a case of, as Microsoft puts it, "we need to
control the standards." Even Web standards Microsoft felt it should control...
