Powerpoint is Presentation software for preparation of slide type presentations. The Equivalent in Libre office is called, oddly enough, Presentation.
There are many Tutorials for Vista just simply Google for them.
Or there is OpenOffice, it's equivalent is called 'Impress'.
If you just want to view a presentation (perhaps sent to you via email) then you can use Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer which is free;

PowerPoint Presentations can be printed but not edited.
There is really no equivalent to PowerPoint. Libre Office and Open Office are similar, but do not have the same broad functions as PP. I highly recommend to get the MS Office package - it was the best program investment I ever made.
Here is an example of a fancy PP picture show I once made - try that with the alternatives. This is a PP presentation that was then converted to a video.
