Microsoft Sends OneNote to School

Odd. I haven't received mine yet (the constant barrage of criticism probably hasn't helped - heh). But Microsoft is giving away its note-taking software, one-note, to certain academic institutions. The Academic edition will sell for $US 49 at academic bookstores, and $99 (after a $100 rebate) for non-academic users. Reviews of the beta version of the product were positive: "you can write, draw, annotate, highlight and edit anywhere on a page just as you would on paper. When used with a Tablet PC, it really can replace paper." Would I use it? I don't know: I have my own idea of what such a system should look like, and my intuitions have almost never aligned with Microsoft's. But like I say, I haven't received my version yet (or, for that matter, a tablet to use it with). Grumble grumble grouse grouse.
