What would you say is the correspondence between OneNote desktop and web? If it is as flexible on the web as the desktop, I would be very impressed (and happy, it's a great app but it never made a lot of sense for me since I use a lot of different machines).

I worked on the Word App (specifically, the viewing side of things rather than the editing side) so I didn't use the OneNote app that much. But I did play with it a little, and from what I saw it has the same core functionality as the rich client. Not sure about the fancier stuff like Outlook task integration. But it's certainly the case that you'll be able to create notebooks, sections, and pages, and take notes as you normally would. Sorry that's not a great answer - I'd never used OneNote before this summer and I still don't know all the features even in the rich client, so it's hard for me to say if the web app is equally "flexible". > it's a great app but it never made a lot of sense for me since I use a lot of different machines). Isn't there a way, even in Office 2007, to share a notebook across multiple machines? I haven't used it but when you create a new notebook you have to pick either "I will use it on this computer", "I will use it on multiple computers", or "Multiple people will share this notebook". I imagine that might fill your current need.

  Thanks. What you describe sounds promising since I am mostly concerned about retaining the "click anywhere and start typing" nature of the app rather than the tight integration with the rest of Office. There are a couple of different methods for sharing such as sharepoint and shared drives. I am giving it a shot with Dropbox at my new gig to see how it works out. I would like to be able to treat it like I do my Moleskine - always there, always up to date.
