Microsoft "Onenote" -- don't discount this thing.
By Andrew Pollack on 09/16/2003 at 10:45 PM EDTI just checked out the on-line demo of Microsoft's "Onenote" and ordered the beta. It looks very, very interesting to me. It works without a fancy tablet pc, but it may be worth buying one for. If it does what it seems to do in the demo, this is going to be a major killer application. Mostly, I'm happy about that. I've wanted an application for a long time that matches what they've built very very closely. I've ordered the beta. It was $7.95.
What's the trickiest bit here? Well, if you combined what this looks like, with some access control and a server, you have something that can really replicate a lot of the power in Lotus Notes. Tie it to an html rendering engine and you've got a really interesting content management system as well.
Oh, last bit? I realize its not called "Notes" -- but if the application is called "Onenote" and the thing you create is a "Note" then what do you think everyone is going to call their compendium of stored items? yep. they'll call it their "notes".
IBM should fight this name, even as the product comes to market.
Hey, Ed.... You listening?

:Reminded me of many of the qualities that people liked in Lotus Agenda many
many years ago. Will be interesting to see how it does. Toshiba have already
announced they are bundling it on all their laptops.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
