One of the hidden gems of Office 2010 is that it now includes OneNote 2010 – the latest release of Microsoft’s simple yet elegant note taking application. Formerly, you had to purchase OneNote separately making it a special software request inside many corporations and not standard issue. Now that it comes with all versions of Office 2010, my first hope is that it helps slay the useless tradition of taking meeting minutes, but before that comes collaborating with OneNote.
OneNote can serve as an effective backchannel for collaborative note taking, whiteboard session captures, and capturing the myriad of bits and bytes that comes with running a technology project.
