Also known as Power Point Application:

An application that only works as a PowerPoint presentation.

Characteristics of such applications that solve all problems, integrate seamlessly with all existing applications, run on platforms, performance is brilliant (i.e., twice as fast as the competition), and cost a fraction of the cost of what the competition offers.
