Amazon.com Product Description
Microsoft OneNote 2010 gives you the ideal place to store and share your information in a single, easy-to-access location.
Capture text, images, as well as video and audio notes with OneNote. By sharing your notebooks, you can simultaneously take and edit notes with other people in other locations, or just keep everyone in sync and up to date. You can also take your OneNote 2010 notebooks with you--view and edit your notes from virtually any computer with an Internet connection or your Windows phone.1
Create one centralized resource for all of your ideas
OneNote 2010 delivers an array of new and improved tools that make it easy for you to capture and reference your ideas and important information.
- Take notes while working in Microsoft Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Internet Explorer using the new Linked Notes feature. OneNote provides a link to where you were in the source document at the time you took the note, keeping your ideas automatically connected to the content you create.
 |
- Save time and make your important content easily accessible. Use the new quick filing feature in OneNote 2010 to collect information while working in other programs. Send a copy of content from documents, Web pages, e-mail messages, or almost any program to the exact location you want in your OneNote notebooks.
Manage information with tools that save time and simplify your work
It's much easier to manage information when you can customize the way you work.
- Explore and manage your notebooks more effectively with an enhanced notebook navigation bar, improved tools for managing sections, and multi-level page groups.
 |
- Save time with an advanced search experience that shows results as you type. OneNote 2010 learns from your searches and prioritizes results. You can also add wiki links to pages, sections, and section groups within your notebook to ensure related content is always easily accessible.
Work together more successfully
If you are one of the many people who work with others on projects, OneNote 2010 has good news for you.
- In OneNote 2010, see recent changes highlighted automatically when you open a shared notebook along with an indicator showing who made each change.
 |
- Retrieve content you inadvertently discarded from the Notebook Recycle Bin or restore previous page versions if someone has made changes to the notes you need.
Collect information, brainstorm, and share ideas from more places
Your ideas, deadlines, and emergencies don't always occur conveniently when you are at your computer.
- OneNote Web App is an online companion to Microsoft OneNote which enables you to extend your OneNote experience to the browser. Store your notes online and edit them from a Web browser. View and copy notes quickly, view edits by author, access previous page versions, and even edit shared notebooks simultaneously with others who are using OneNote Web App and OneNote 2010.2
- OneNote Mobile 2010 gives you a lightweight viewing and editing tool for your notes that's especially designed for easy use on your Windows phone.3
Whether you're collecting information, making a plan, working with a team on an important project, or getting work done on the run, OneNote 2010 gives you the power to manage all of your information more easily, with more flexibility, and with better results.
1 Web and Windows phone access require an appropriate device and some functionality requires an Internet connection. Web functionality uses Office Web Apps, which require a supported Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari browser and either SharePoint Foundation 2010 or a Windows Live ID. Mobile functionality requires Office Mobile 2010 which is not included in Office 2010 applications, suites, or Office Web Apps. There are some differences between the features of the Office Web Apps, Office Mobile 2010 and the Office 2010 applications.
2 Requires SharePoint Foundation 2010 or a Windows Live ID.
3 OneNote Mobile 2010 is not included in the Office 2010 applications or suites.

Access Method:Box|Platform for Display:PC
I have used & been utterly fascinated with this genre of software {"note-taker," "organizer," "outliner," "free-form database," "personal information manager"} for decades. I well remember using the earliest versions of "Tornado Notes" & askSam--both of which were wonderful in their time; I've upgraded both of those apps over the years & have tested NUMEROUS other competing programs--including MyInfo, Ultra Recall, Info Select, TreePad, & WhizFolders.
OneNote Easily beats them ALL! There is simply no contest.
For those of you who haven't tried OneNote, here's a brief description of its many benefits--While its Feature-List is Huge, Polished, & Intuitive, these are some key features:: OneNote is a great place to put ALL your notes. It lets you organize all your data & access it in a Snap. Easily add HYPERLINKS Between any Notes, or Hyperlink to websites & to other programs. It Retains Formatting when you copy from the Web or other apps, & accepts text, photos, handwriting, drawings & audio. OneNote lets you put ALL your data in a single spot & find it again in a couple clicks. Unlike cumbersome tree-based organizers, OneNote lets you organize your data into Major Categories ("Notebooks")--such as "family" "hobbies" "projects" ...Into Specific Topics (in Section Tabs)--like "my Wife" "Bible study notes" "Simpson Project" ...And Into individual "Notes"--be it 2 words or a lengthy treatise. SEARCHING is indexed so the results appear even Before you've entered your search-string! The Notebook Names, Section Tabs, & Notes display on the sides of your screen ready to open with a Click. Text formatting is available via right-click. It Automatically Saves And Backs up your work. In short, OneNote offers you the ability to manage every bit of data in your life--an Amazing program you'll wonder how you managed without!
I was previously a long-timer user of OneNote 2007. OneNote 2010 is truly an Essential Upgrade: While the Search features in O.N. 2007 were Very Good, the Search Enhancements in O.N. 2010 are Spectacular; OneNote has adopted Search-As-You-Type searching (you usually spot your desired note Before you finish typing the search-string) ... & navigating through your hits is quite fluid.
And the additional Enhancements added since the 2007 version are just too numerous to mention here. Here are just a few of the Changes Since O.N. 2007::
>> You can save your notes to the web so they're available from Any computer.
>> The toolbars are even easier than before to personalize--especially the Quick Access Toolbar--for instant
access to your every most-used function. Prefer not to use the Ribbon?--You rarely need to even see it.
>> Amazingly, Searching is even More Powerful Than Before & offers even More options.
(Be sure to take advantage of Operators "AND," "OR," "Partial," & "Exact"!) Simply stunning!
>> There's a SEPARATE Search for "Find-on-Page" that instantly highlights all hits for just the text on-screen.
(BTW, all OneNote search-results appear Instantaneously.)
>> The previous limited space for Section Names has been thoroughly corrected.
>> The "Format Painter" lets you apply desired formatting to multiple selections.
>> Sub-pages are now multi-level, collapsible, & a breeze to work with.
>> All deletions of Pages & Sections are instantly recoverable via an internal Recycler.
>> Etc., Etc., Etc.
A truly _Compelling Upgrade to a program that is worth its weight in Pure Platinum.
... And if you haven't tried OneNote yet, You are in for a Treat! You will wonder how you managed without it: All your Thoughts, Data & Ideas perfectly organized & instantly accessible.
How good is OneNote? Brilliant people worldwide are calling it the Best & Most Important software on their computer.
It is certainly that for me: The Sine Qua Non of my computer, an awesome extension of my brain.
P.S.: To keep this review concise, I included secondary notes in Comment One. If you notice any inaccuracy or any way my review can be more helpful, please add a comment. Thank you! :)

UPDATED 07/28/11 --> OCR problem fixed. Original post has been updated to reflect usage for over a year.
To Whom it May Interest,
I am a dyed-in-the-wool proponent of OneNote thanks to its second iteration, 2007. While 2003 gave a tantalizing (and frustrating!) glimpse of what could be, 2007 delivered in most every way: functionality, stability, usability, and so on. I can attest that it is the best consumer program for indexing content I've ever come across. People, particularly students and others who need to accumulate and organize information, are disserving themselves and their projects by not using it.
I used the beta for several months and then purchased the program, which I've been using for over a year now. While 2010 was nothing near the gargantuan leap between 2003 and 2007, it didn't need to be. I appreciated the refinement of just a few key features in my favorite program, including:
(1) adding the ability to insert sub-tabs in any given section. You can also add sub-tabs to sub-tabs (but no more sub-tabs after the third order).
(2) vastly improving the "print to OneNote" functionality--now you can choose exactly where you want each file to go
(3) allowing greater ease in choosing where your notebook is stored
(4) improving synchronizing capabilities. I have tested under the following conditions, each of which I discuss below:
*synchronizing over a LAN network*
PROS: almost live-updating from one machine to another (there is a slight delay that has varied between the two networks I configured)
-includes all files (e.g. audio recordings) unlike SkyDrive
CONS: no user guide included with program to explain how to set it up. It took some tinkering and online research, which is fine for me, but for the average user I think including a section in the notebook bundled with the program would be better.
-no easily accessible button in the user interface to check and execute synchronizations. You can ADD such a button (which I did). I think the sync is supposed to be automatic, but it's nice being able to check on the status of the synchronization and to force a synchronization whenever I want.
*synchronizing using SkyDrive*
PROS: very quick, in my experience, with uploading notebooks
-great Office functionality on-line (thought not yet on mobile platforms). This isn't merely an online file viewer; you can do most of the things you would in the regular program in SkyDrive
-notebooks exempted from the "50mb rule." SkyDrive gives you 25 gb on the condition that no individual file is larger than 50 mb. This was a headache for OneNote users but has since been fixed.
CONS: does not sync audio files. OneNote strips the notebook of audio when it uploads it. Since it does this automatically, though, I don't really mind. A worthwhile cost for convenience! I would criticize the synchronizing user interface, though, for making it seem like the sync failed because not everything was uploaded. The sync probably WORKED but because it did not do everything the progress bar looks similar to the progress bar displayed when a synchronization actually does fail.
-cannot view all synced files online (e.g. pdf files embedded in pages). SkyDrive will alert you of this problem. To know if something was synced or not choose to open the online notebook on your computer.
-formatting details sometimes visible online (e.g. "[Line break]"). These do not transfer back to the OneNote notebook on your hard drive.
-if you are VIEWING a notebook that is stored in SkyDrive, syncing changes apparently can't be forced. Only when you exit out of the notebook does it sync whatever changes you made back online.
-the synchronization can sometimes hang. It's buggier than I would like, but I still use it.
-no indexed search online (which is understandable)
-garbles some handwritten text.

OneNote was a really good, but flawed product before. I tried OneNote 2007 a few years ago and loved it, but had trouble using it over two different computers -- work and home.
It could not compete very well with programs like EverNote for users that use more than one computer. Now, it syncs really well over the web and I love it!
It keeps me organized wherever I am. I can access my notebooks even if I'm on someone else's computer through a web browser.
Is it perfect? No, but its close and its the best option out there. I no longer "store" information only to not be able to remember later where I stored that information.
Highly recommended.
