speaking of wishes

I wish that OneNote was offered/bundled in with the business/enterprise packages. I want it at the office!

Our corp is rolling out the Office 2007 suite to all users (@600 plus people) by the end of this month. OneNote will not be available because it would be a separate license.

And yes, I AM pushing it whenever I get the chance.

AFAICS hardly a thing to be influenced by posting in this newsgroup.
It seems to be a marketing policies decision made by the MS powers in
charge.
I have no idea on how to reach those people :-(

Really good to hear that.
It's not to easy help in getting OneNote as widely known as would be
necessary :-(

OneNote 2007 (along with Groove 2007) is available as part of the
Enterprise SKU. More info at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/su...674041033.aspx
(as an aside, what's with the urls? why can't it be
microsoft.com/en-us/suites/enterprise.aspx, instead of <random stuff>.aspx?)

Re: speaking of wishes

This group is fine. Some of the OneNote team read here and we MVPs can try
and pass especially good ideas up the line in case something good comes
along that they didn't see.

Re: speaking of wishes

But them for a Tablet PC :)

Most tablets come with OneNote 2007 and on a tablet you really can appreciate what OneNote has to offer.

True Josh.

Having used ON before I ever had a Tablet, it definitely was an excellent
application, but the Tablet just... gives it wings.

I'm sorry, Anty.
It seems that my reply got fully misunderstood :-( :-(

I did not at all want to say that it was wrong to post your wish in
here!
It was just meant as expressing the feeling of being helpless as far as
the MS marketing policies are concerned.

As Ben already some of the folks of the ON developers team are
participating in here (so in this case Ilya Koulchin).

Please accept MY apologies. I was quick to let my cranky mood and bad day
influence my reply. I'm usually such a mild mannered and delightful old
soul-sweet, you may even say. <g>

Now, I'll go back and try doing more reading and put a lid on posting
impulsively.

Re: speaking of wishes

A large amount of people in this workforce are very mobile, and carry laptops running Windows XP Pro (even the new laptops just ordered will not yet go Vista because of difficulties with the Citrix environment, I'm told). The ones that do not, are in office environments and use terminals to connect to a Citrix desktop. I've never had any exposure to tablets.

My impression is that tablets could not take the place of laptops-would that be correct?

Re: speaking of wishes

Tablets are a superset of Windows XP and are native in Vista - that is to say, anything that works on a laptop works on a tablet. They are indeed laptop replacements and for many people desktop replacements. I don't wanna get too mushy on tablets since I just posted a pro-tablet rant and I don't want to come off like a Tablet MVP that's invading the OneNote turf trying to spread propoganda. :)

But there's alot of misconceptions about tablets like them being underpowered, overpriced, a separate OS, etc. Some of this was true in the early days, but the OS has always been compatible with non-tablet counterparts. In fact, all versions of Vista (except Home Basic) have the Tablet PC components "built in" thus making the only difference between a tablet and non-tablet the presence of a touch screen or electromagnetic digitizer.

By the way, I use Citrix on my Vista tablet and UMPC with no issues other than the fact that the handwriting input panel will not send text into citrix'ed applications correctly (the on-screen keyboard does). This is an issue with the Citrix and Microsoft Remote Desktop client, but it doesn't matter since most tablets are convertible laptops anyway - for using Citrix you'd just use the keyboard like you would on a laptop.

Re: Josh, please ignore my question re laptops vs tablets

I can do the research and answer my own question-please don't take the time. May also be beyond the scope of this board.

Certainly not - we issue Tablets to all of our field people and they take the place of laptops just fine. My ASUS RF-1 is a 2Ghz machine with 2GB of RAM and a 120GB hard drive. Very capable.

And my Lenovo x60 Tablet is the best LAPTOP I've ever owned, not to mention
it is also a Tablet.
