Comments from those who selected OneNote as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

• "This must be the forgotten jewel in the suite of Microsoft Office programs. I don’t understand why it isn’t far more popular. It is fantastic as a rough and ready repository for all kinds of nuggets and jottings."  Patrick Mayfield
• "A great tool that helps me keep my notes organized. Because it's on a tablet PC, it's easy to add drawings and diagrams to notes."  Pattie Mascaro
• "Simply an amazing program that I have only been using since January and wish that I had been using for the last 5 years.  I am reducing my paper use tremendously."  Harold Shaw

Comments from those who selected OneNote as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007

• "This is easily the most important application I use. It is so simple, yet so versatile -- I have completely eliminated the need for post-it notes, scraps of paper, short text files, word docs, etc., to keep track of ideas, projects, goals, research, websites to investigate, and much more. It complements one's email/calendaring application beautifully. OneNote must be one of the most poorly marketed applications ever, as few people besides students and Tablet PC users are very familiar with it -- even though it is great for all computer users, and even can be used collaboratively through shared notebooks on a network share. By now I know many people who use it, and I have yet to meet someone who tried using it for a few weeks who didn't get addicted and then swear by it going forward"  Thomas Stone
