Just one version ago .. 2008 doesn't have VBA, previous versions do (though
it's an older version, more or less at the same development stage as what we
had in PPT 97. Except the IDE is awful.

VBA is due back in the next release.

I does exist! It is hidden but the old macro shortcut still works.
Press ALT + T + M + R.

Note that it doesn't work as well as Excel's macro recorder, but it
still does exist.

Does it ever record anything useful, though?

I've played with it a few times ... got it to record
Application.WindowState = ppWindowMaximized once, but it didn't pick up
anything else I tried.
