Linux and Power Point

We're getting some new equipment here, and the manufacturer produces the software to run the equipment for Linux operating system. Everything else here is Windows based.

How difficult is it to get images/text from a Linux system to a Windows system? Is it as easy as saving a .jpg and mailing it to yourself? If the Linux system is not on a network, are there cross-platform thumb-drives? What about compatibility between Power Point and the Linux equivalent?

Any info or links will be appreciated!

Thanks!

Government IT departments generally frown on anything "new" -- which means they may not let us hook the Linux system up to the network. I suspect our only option will be a thumb drive for file transfer. Our real concern was compatibility, and it sounds like that won't be a problem if we export the files in a Windows format.

Thanks!
