Microsoft talks about OneNote
by Volker Weber
Chris Pratley, group program manager for authoring services for Microsoft Office, talks to Steve "I see dead people" Gillmor about the upcoming OneNote, which currently is expected midyear 2003. Whatever that means.
I will be watching this really closely, since I could benefit a lot from this type of application. Unlike other people I work almost without paper. The only three exceptions are: interview transcripts, quickly jotted notes, and where the law demands a paper record.
But my creative work is always done using software. I tend to put information in data storage that can be accessed from a number of machines. That could be Notes databases, Groove spaces, weblogs, the Tungsten. I gather mostly text and links to webpages, completely unorganized. I don't use mindmaps and such but arrange it all in my head. I seem to have a tremendous capacity to do that. That is also a reason I try to hold off writing a manuscript as long as I possibly can, because I can rearrange things in my head much faster than in a word processor.
It will be very interesting to see, whether Microsoft can come up with something, that lets me work better.

Can the guy ever write anything without mentioning Groove?
Steve or vowe? :-)
Have you seen the N-LITER Study Suite Tool (http://www.n-liter.com)? It’s pretty much like OneNote (no video, or scribbling) but better since it is integrated into the browser. Add notes, highlights… you can even search them! Looks like MS missed the boat on this one.
