OneNote 2003 'Must Have' For Students

According to The Furrygoat Experience, Northwestern is going to start requiring incoming freshmen to install and use ONeNote to take class notes. Interesting, he also says that he's found it quite useful on a laptop, even though it's obviously eared more toward a Tablet than anything else. I've only been using it on a desktop and while I could see some use, I'm having a hard time getting myself used to typing notes for meetings or during presentations. I'm guessing all those years of taking notes by hand back when I was still in school is a bit hard to un-learn, eh?

Office 2003 Pricing and strategy

This Information Week article has some good information on what Ms is trying to do with the pricing of Office 2003. I like the idea that they're trying to make this more affordable on the low end, but I'm still going to have to look long and hard upgrading the office. It's not just the costs of the pro versions of Office, but it's the costs in upgrading our infrastructure to take advantage of what Office 2003 can do in terms of collaboration, XML, etc. Right now, our hardware and NOS aren't going to work with that stuff.
