Is a powerpoint CV a good idea?

I've been researching the web for a simple answer to whether or not I should include a PowerPoint version of my CV in my job hunt strategy. What's most frustrating about my research is not the lack of opinion, but the lack of consensus. Some people even advocate getting rid of CVs altogether, but most either say "hell no!" or "go for it!: Here are some of the opinions (and my comments in parenthesis):

• If its a marketing job you are seeking, then definitely be creative!
• Send a conventional word CV, and attach a powerpoint version were you can include more details that would not fit on CV (this is actually what I was planning to do)
• Employers hate ppt presentations, cause it hurts their eyes when they have to read it on the screen (Printers do exist in the HR world, right?)
• Some employers wont have PowerPoint on computer (What???? No powerpoint?)
• First send a word CV, and bring a CD/USB with additional material, such as ppt presentation, video, etc.

So, I'm confused. I thought a ppt presentation would help me include some details about myself that I would not normally put in a conventional CV, such as time alotment, case studies, international background, etc. Would I be giving too much away, or would it be a good icebreaker during an interview? Would it make you want to know more, or would have enough?

What do you think?
