Post Google Docs adds presentation tool

It's no surprise, Google is introducing their slide show app today. It looks OK, though it looks as sparse as some of the other Google Docs offerings.
Of all the comments I've seen so far, TDavid is my fav so far--in part, because he brings in Robots to his discussion and you know me--I'm partial to the whole Robot thing. Anyway, TDavid is taking the opportunity to nudge at Microsoft to compete in the non-enterprise Office space. (Kind of sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?) I'm sure somewhere someone is. You can't put tens of thousands of engineers in a bottle and not expect at least one of them to see the light--despite all the short-term consequences of doing so.
Also, Matt Cutts shows how to embed a Google Presenation in a blog post, although it's not quite what I'd expect. First, you have to sign in--which exposes your email address to everyone else currently signed in to the document. Next it doesn't scale, physically scale to the window size. You can click on a link though to open a new window to view the "finished" presentation which scales properly though. Isn't that what should be in the embedded iframe? Maybe it can be. Dunno.
Here's a video from Google that introduces the new Google Docs presentation system:

Kind of makes you think Google is a friend of ink--if only it was supported more directly in the browser--cross platform. I need to go back to my IE addin and get "ink" (more like paths) working with DHTML surfaces. That's the best chance for ink in Google Docs.
