How to embed a shell and browser into a presentation

libreoffice-impressmicrosoft-powerpoint

I am responsible for demonstrating changes to our software every two weeks. Since the software has both telnet and web interfaces, I think it would help the demo go more smoothly if I could embed a web browser and a telnet client or shell directly into presentation slides, like this:

My current idea is to write extensions for LibreOffice to do it, but obviously I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I can help it. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this? I prefer PowerPoint 2007 or LibreOffice on Windows 7, but am open to suggestions for any software or OS.

I think the LiveWeb module will work for you. Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 download link here. 2007 and 2003 here. Note: I've never personally used it, so I can't vouch for it. However, I've seen it in use, and it's quite slick.

I don't know of a way to embed a command line interface or terminal prompt into a presentation.
