Google Launches Powerpoint Preview for Gmail

Although in testing for some time, it looks like Google has started to roll out its Powerpoint competitor through a "View as Slideshow" feature in Gmail. When you receive an email with a Powerpoint attached, you can view the slideshow in a new window - no need to download and open in Powerpoint itself.

This is similar to the options Gmail provides for opening Word and Excel files in Google Docs and Spreadsheets, and gives me a reason to never use Microsoft Office again.
