Limitations
- Proprietary binary format with limited cross-platform fidelity
- Fewer features and smaller size limits than modern PPTX
- Vulnerable to macro-based security exploits
Common Uses
- Legacy presentation archives from pre-2007 systems
- Compatibility with older PowerPoint installations
- Simple presentations where broad backward compatibility is needed
