Your link is significantly worse than deck.js on "non-modern browser" (Camino in my case, so ~FF3): shower's slidemap is completely broken and the slides do not open "full document". deck.js has layout glitches in the navigation and status displays, and drops the transition effects (and stuff like drop-shadows) but the slides themselves work.
S5 is more spartan, but more reliable than either proposal.
Edit: and as opposed to S5, neither can really be printed even in a browser able to display them correctly (tested in Safari 5.1):
* S5 has a pared down print CSS, you get only the slide contents (not sure if it's possible to get additional notes), ugly but good.
* deck.js is unprintable, the printed document changes erratically depending on the slide you're on and it never looks like something that could ever be used
* shower is completely broken when a slide is fullscreened (prints a single page displaying the bottom half of the current view), in "overview" mode it does have a nice print css... but one which emphasizes the looks of the slideshow rather than having good/useful prints: there's a truckload of space between slides, an ugly drop shadow around each and every slide (drop shadows which don't even appear in the overview), apparently no handling of page breaks (so slides are cut off across pages, half on one page and half on the next)
Why would you print them, you ask? Well to give printouts of course, but also to export to PDF, a very useful feature of MacOSX.
edit: tried Shower in Opera (11.11) since it's by an Opera Software guy, it's a train-wreck: fullscreen slides don't work and print is terminally broken and utterly unusable. Latest version is 11.50 so I'll probably try again with that one, but not really impressed so far.
edit2: tested in 11.50, "fullscreen" slides work correctly, print is still completely broken and unusable.
