Try Open Office, a free alternative to Microsoft Office and is completely compatible with Office programs including PowerPoiont.
OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute.

Hi,
The tricky part of your question is the "...but better" part.
If "better" means "free" then OpenOffice and NeoOffice are definitely "better" because they are free. They have most of the commonly used PowerPoint features, but are not quite as robust feature-wise.
If "better" means it's easier to make stunning presentations then Apple's Keynote is the best choice IMHO (Mac only).
But if "better" means having the widest range of capabilities along with being programmable by Visual Basic then PowerPoint can't be beat.

Open office is good and if you don't want to install it, it can be run from a thumb drive. Check out http://portableapps.com/
