LiveLoop (http://getliveloop.com) is a PowerPoint plugin that delivers most of the benefits described here (real-time, supports offline, and arbitrarily shareable), with the benefit of working from directly within Microsoft Office. Any number of collaborators can see each other's edits in true keystroke-by-keystroke real-time.

Microsoft Office is inherently collaboration unfriendly. It adds platform incompatibilities on top of inertia (which is likely the biggest obstacle).
