I’m beginning to like OneNote a lot for making notes. The key features I like are:
- ability to flag any item for follow-up, and to get a summary of all such items
- ability to search all my notes (can’t do that with paper)
I started using it after reading some comments about it and looking at the tutorial videos. Yes, it is M$ stuff, but it is really nice. I haven’t found any Open Source products like it. (It also integrates nicely with Outlook…)
OneNote also supports collaborative editing over the network. It seems like a cool feature, but currently I have nobody to try it out with. Another way to share or centralize notes is to use regular Windows folder synchronization or SharePoint. I’d like to see if I can just use a DAV-capable web server to achieve centralization for myself.
