I bought a copy of OneNote several months ago. It has taken awhile, but I am really beginning to warm up to it. It is very handy for clipping information in various forms. I find it very useful for short-term storage of project-related data. I don’t think I would use it for long-term information management, as it is a bit too clunky, especially compared to the likes of Zoot or even Ultra Recall. But for keeping related notes at hand for quick reference while developing a project, it is great.

So I’ve been checking in regularly with the OneNote users forum at the MS web site, where I’ve recently found the following featured user testimonial:

“I’m smitten with OneNote. I take project and team notes with OneNote and I rely on note flags a lot to stay on top of action items. I also use OneNote for my oceanography class. My manager and most of my team now use it, and I’ve also introduced it to friends and family.”

ó Tamara Johnston, Microsoft Learning Project Manager, Microsoft Corporation

Is it just me, or is this weird? Can’t the biggest software corporation in the world find someone without a conflict of interest who has good things to say about OneNote? This is like Condi Rice touting the Bush White House’s foreign policy. Oh, well. What do I know about building a multi-billion dollar corporation? Not much.
