A friend has been thinking about upgrading his notebook to a Tablet PC. Why? He’s becoming addicted to OneNote. A couple weeks back I showed him the link to a trial version of OneNote which he cautiously installed. But now it’s becoming one of the top two applications he uses daily. It’s quite interesting to see how he tries to use it. He pushes it to the edge, sharing pages across machines, copy-pasting whole sections of webpages, and on and on. I’ve learned a lot from him as he’s taken OneNote through its paces. There are many nuances I didn’t know I didn’t know. For instance, I don’t think I quite understand the page naming convention that’s follwed when a page is shared between machines and the section names are partially, but not completely common.
He’s become such the OneNote advocate that I decided to give him an unused free copy I’d gotten for attending a Microsoft event. Lan was originally going to use it, but she won her own copy a few months back, so it’s been sitting on the shelf. Now it has a good home–an AMD notebook today, and possibly a Tablet PC down the road.
I wonder how many other users are being turned onto Tablets by OneNote?
OneNote is indispensable for me too. Having a Tablet PC was cool, but OneNote convinced me that i will always need a Tablet PC.
I wonder how many other users there are like this that discovered the Tablet PC through using OneNote.
