Diff for Powerpoint

In Word, there is an option to compare two documents and find out the differences between the two documents. I'm looking for a similar function to compare two Powerpoint documents. Ideally, it would list the individual slides that are different, the differences in each slide between the versions and when the changes were made. However, I can't find a menu option for this functionality (I'm using Office 2007). Am I missing something?

If this functionality is not in Powerpoint, are there 3rd party tools doing this?

Can I compare two PowerPoint documents?

Click Review > Compare, and then click Compare. In the Choose File to Merge with Current Presentation box, find the version of your presentation that you saved to the shared location, click it, and then click Merge. Note: The Revisions task pane opens to display all comments and changes made by reviewers.

Upgrade to Powerpoint 2010 or 2013 and choose Compare in the Review tab. See this video:

Failing all else, if you have Office 2007 you can always save the ppt as an OOXML document.
