Powerpoint viewer licensing question

I work for a company whose customer support center would like to sell
an informational Powerpoint presentation on a CD, and also distribute
the Powerpoint viewer on the CD for customers that don't have
Powerpoint. I've read over the license agreement, and it sounds like
it's ok to distribute the viewer if it's the complete program and
includes the complete end user license agreement. However, I'm not
sure if it's ok for companies to distribute the program in this way.
Does anyone know if there are any restrictions on commercial use of
Powerpoint viewer?

Thanks!

Most of us aren't MS employees and can't speak authoritatively for them, but
the whole idea behind the viewer is that you can use it for just this purpose.

There might be issues if you were to try selling it, per se, to others, but
even including it on a CD where you're selling your content and using the
viewer as a means of accessing the content should be ok.
