Given all this, I really think that Apple's best approach is to ensure that QT export works properly, and that QT on Windows plays well. If Apple were to build a viewer that could render Keynote presentations "on-the-fly", that player would have to have all those OS-level capabilities built-in, and that's potentially aįurthermore, the Keynote document format is actually a "package", or collection of files, and this approach to documents isn't understood natively on Windows, so again, there would have to be some sort of exporter/translator just to get the files on to Windows properly, much less to play them. The problem is that while the file format itself is very straightforward and transparent, the actual execution relies on OS X-specific technologies, such as Quartz/Core Image.

Unfortunately, in most business environments, there's not really a choice.

Given a choice between using iWork and Office, many Mac users would choose iWork. You'd end up spending a lot of extra time and effort troubleshooting the things you can't do in PowerPoint for your Keynote export AND you'll be denying yourself the use of certain things PowerPoint can do that Keynote doesn't. Keynote may look a bit better, but if the quality of the presentation is really about you sharing it rather than just presenting it, Keynote and PowerPoint doesn't mix. If you're in an area where you need to exchange docs with Office users, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by using anything other than Office. If you are in a position where you don't need to share documents with others that are using Microsoft Office (that's me, some home users, etc.) then Keynote is an excellent presentation program that easily makes my presentations better than anyone else's. I've always been of the feeling that iWork isn't and probably will never be a replacement for Microsoft Office. No, there's not a Keynote Viewer for Windows.
