Users here of Microsoft OneNote may be interested in the recent announcement of what’s in OneNote 2010.
Details have been posted here on the blog of David Rasmussen, the Group Program Manager on the OneNote product team. More details are still to come, but the feature list looks pretty impressive, especially the access improvements. Outlining is slightly improved but still basic.

Any word about whether or not OneNote 2010 will run under Windows XP?

From the Website:
“OneNote now has the Ribbon. We?ve designed this to optimize for the key OneNote scenarios and make them easier to use. This is also what enables us to more easily add features like math equation editing (the common controls for that use the Ribbon), and potential future features.”
I am not using Office 2007 because of “the Ribbon.” IF I were using OneNote, I would stop using it just because of this improvement.

Hi, Manfred,
I don’t know what “the Ribbon” is. Can you elaborate a little? Thank you.
One interesting development is the addition of wiki links…

Stephen,
Beginning in Office 2007, MS has replaced traditional drop down menus with ribbons that run accross the top of the program’s window. I grew up on drop down menus, and I find they work well for my work style, but having switched to Office 2007 at work, I do not find the ribbons to be as bad as I thought they would be. Commands are a bit more visible with ribbons, but the ribbons tend to occupy a bit more screen real estate - not very useful with netbooks. Any comprehensive review of Office 2007 will go into detail about the ribbons, so you can search to see the changes for yourself.
