--scanning through results of a "Hijack This" scan,
I see numerous references to something of MS's
called "One Note". What is that?




Although I already knew the answer, I just did a Google search to find
a link for you. It took a fraction of a second to find
https://www.onenote.com/

In the future, please do a web search yourself, and ask questions
like this here only if you can't find the answer.


I can't help thinking OneNote has a lot of emperor's new clothes about
it, but I'm obviously not "getting" it. Shortly after it arrived (at
least after my previous employer got it, which I _think_ wasn't long
after it arrived), we had lectures one could go to about it, given by
someone I think might have been from Microsoft; regardless of whether he
was or not, his enthusiasm was very refreshing. And subsequently at
least one person I otherwise respect waxed enthusiastic about it
(OneNote) too. But I really couldn't see what it could do for me that I
couldn't do perfectly well with all the tools that I already had. I
think it's just a different way of working, whose advantages I am not
seeing. (Similar to "Workspace", which I also don't "get", but that
employer was very much embracing, more or less as a replacement for
shared drives, as far as I could understand it.)




I used OneNote for a while when it first came out, but I switched to
EverNote, which I like better.

Don't ask me why I like EverNote better; it's been too long and I
can't remember.
