Summary: Great Research Tool
Review: I've been using OneNote since the beta, and have come to really appreciate it as a research tool. As a writer/analyst and principal for Radar Marketing, I find OneNote ideal for gathering all of my information into one area, organized by tabs. One very strong feature is the ability to copy and paste, or drag and drop, web pages into OneNote. From here, it's easy to further annotate the pages with boldfacing or flags and to organize entire sections into tabs.The search feature is very nice and seemingly much faster than Word. You can search through a single tabbed topic or across your entire notebook very quickly, with OneNote highlighting the words and showing where everything is to be found in the task bar on the right. It's almost like having your own private Google based on your research notebook. Creating outlines, and expanding and collapsing them is quite easy and intuitive, more so than Word. It's up to you whether you want to use outlining, though. OneNote gives you so many ways to organize your material that the choice is up to you. FOr a first release, Microsoft has done a good job. Some things need more attention. Other reviewers have pointed out lack of internal links and basic word processing features. What I would like to see is more support of drag and drop for organizing pages and tabbed sections. Moving these around isn't as simple as it should be. Finally, as others have said, it's not worth $200, but I doubt anybody is going to need to pay that much based on the discounts I'm seeing. I'm going to recommend this to my www.radarmarketing.biz clients whenever the need for a quality research tool comes up.

Summary: Simpleminded approach to notetaking
Review: MS OneNote 2003 program is not completely ready for use on the tablet. Even though
the Journal notetaking software that comes with Windows XP Tablet Edition is simple, it
is better than OneNote. OneNote tries to organize notes through a series of vertical and
horizontal tabs, which would be a great idea if it didn't get in the way. Instead of helping,
these tabs actually make notes difficult to retrieve. Also, while tabs may be useful for
traditional notebooks, the usefulness of tabs does not carryover to the tablet. It was
simpleminded of Microsoft's OneNote product managers to carryover traditional
notebook features to the tablet.

Summary: Not impressive.
Review: Onenote came with my new laptop (so I didnt have to put down almost $200 on it) I find as college student, it's too much of a hassel to type instead of writing the old fashion way. I used Onenote to take notes on a movie for a class and it was a hassel. Also there's no way to save. If you want to type your note save money and use Word instead.

Summary: Great new product!
Review: OneNote is amazingly versatile. I keep all of my project notes in OneNote, attach emails, spreadsheets, and quick voice memos. Drag and drop with some applications helps. It takes a few days to set it up in a way that works for you personally, but once I got used to it, what a great system it is!

Summary: Get Personal with Your Information.
Review: OneNote is exactly what the name says. Its a note taking application that is used to gather notes. Its also a great companion for the Tablet PC, because of its tight integration with hand-writing recognition, which on the Tablet is called "Ink". Some say that OneNote sounds like a great application in theory, but does it have all the potential in practice? Well, I think so, its a great organizer for persons who take a lot of notes and really want to get that information centralized and organized in one place. The tight integration once again with Office is always a winner. But, its the connection with hardware such as Tablets that give it a further boost. The handwriting recognition technology makes it a great companion for Tablet Users. OneNote, also being a 1.0 application has a long way to go, lack of such built in features such as a ruler and Office Drawing tools, make the application seem limited in some sense. The applications still retain some advantages, with features for recording 7 min voice clips to add to your notes, so if you are a student in Class or a employee in a business meeting, this is a excellent feature for capitalizing on your information more effectively. OneNote has tight integration with the web, and there is place for it on the desktop PC too. Users can drag tiny snippets of information they needs from Internet websites into the QuickNotes panel, which sits in the System Tray of Windows. All that information is stored in the My Notes folder in your My Documents folder. I personally consider this wonderful flexibility and ease of use. Users can later aggregate the information, annotate in a easier way when fully opened into the OneNote Application. So, OneNote does have its place on both the Desktop, Laptop and of course the Tablet. So, for users who want to be more personal and up close with their information, this is the opportunity.

Summary: Can't lve without
Review: This is the ultimate project planner for me. Instead of having pieces of my work in Word, Excel and HTML, everything nicely fits in OneNote. I downloaded the trial version. But it has become so indespensible I'm going to have to buy a copy. Having said that, this is version one. And I suspect Microsoft will have many improvements to make in future editions.
