Whenever I give presentations, whether it be at work, uni or a company I've
never had anything other than MS PowerPoint available.
I would say this is a must for a base format, and people can convert from
this is need be.

MS PowerPoint (as main format) and additional Adobe PDF or PostScript
Adobe Acrobat (or compatible software) is installed on almost all
computers whereas PowerPoint is limited to Win & Mac.
For both formats freeware viewers are available from their vendors
plus alternative open source apps for all platforms.
Although, PDF is not generally editable!
So the PowerPoint 97/2000/XP(/2003) format is preferable as main
format for presentations.

Why not provide Open Document for Presentations as an alternate format for
people who don't have PowerPoint? (OpenOffice still stinks at properly
importing PPTs).
