Slides are originally in Microsoft Powerpoint (PP) format (.ppt). This is the definitive version. Sometimes even after other versions are made I may go back and fiddle with the lecture in Powerpoint.
If you have PP installed on your computer: you can save the file and then open it with PP. You can also set your browser to automatically start the PP application when a .ppt file is read. In Windows 95/NT, PP can be run stand-alone or (and this is pretty cool) as an embedded OLE object, as if it were part of the browser; right-click the mouse once the object is loaded.
If you don't have PP on your computer: Here are two PP viewers. Located by Ande Kastanis: http://www.microsoft.com/sbnmember/download/download.asp. Located by Brandon Worrell : http://www.microsoft.com/powerpoint/internet/viewer.
Jake will also prepare slides in two handout formats (6 to a page). These will not appear until sometime after the PP versions have been finalized. There are viewers readily available for Adobe Acrobat and PostScript format in case your machine doesn't have them already.
[9/29] In the Sieg 323 lab, PP was installed on one computer I tried, but it's really hard to find. The following ridiculous path leads to it: c:\MsOffice\Microsoft Office\Office\Powerpnt.exe
