Chris Pratley is they guy that is in charge of OneNote at Microsoft, so when he talks about OneNote features, we listen. Today he's got a great post on his blog about the different ways in which OneNote 2007 and Outlook (both 2003 and 2007) are more tightly integrated than ever before. For those of you that haven't had the pleasure, OneNote is a dark corner of Microsoft Office that many people don't know about, but should. It's a note taking application, but to characterize it in that way is to do it a disservice; it's really an information collection and organization framework. Do yourself a favor and acquaint yourself with OneNote, and you'll soon find why it is very interesting to see why OneNote and Outlook have become "best buddies".

1. Seems to be a problem getting Activation to work with the new public beta of OneNote. Since there's a 50 use limit before features get disabled, while I'd like to use it exclusively, since the file formats are apparently not interchangeable with the 2003 version, any word on when activation will start working? I know it's not a universal problem but there are definitely some who haven't gotten it to work including myself on two different computers both at home and at work so it's not a network issue.
