Lawyer gets excited by OneNote

TechnoLawyer Blog: Microsoft OneNote more multifaceted than I thought. Yeah, OneNote is one of my favorite applications too. It’s one of those things that you learn new ways to use it even years after you first start using it. Chris Pratley’s blog is one I praise often (I talked about it at the Google conference last week). He’s one of the geeks who runs the OneNote team.

  1. One can only imagine what One Note 12 will bring to the table.

    As a student, and I say this from all my friends, both geeky and casual user, one note in a school enviroment is THE best solution out there right now.

    Keep up the good work OneNote team!

    Here’s an idea: make it easier for us [students] to share our notes! Use blogs in some way shape or form, exporting to MSN Spaces, and automatically sending emails to everyone in my class to check out my daily notebook would be amazing!

    If Office 2003’s goal was to increase productivity, then Office 12’s [or whatever the rtm name is] goal should be to ease collaboration.

  3. If he likes One Note, then he’d love both of the Macintosh apps it’s copied from. NoteBook is available from Circus Ponies, and NoteTaker is from AquaMinds. These are each derived from an ealier version of NoteBook, which was available on NeXTSTEP. Check them out, you’ll be amazed at how much of their functionality was abandoned in the process of trying to implement One Note.

    BTW, did you know that Visio is a knock-off of a NeXTSTEP app called Diagram?
