I believe that you would be the exception. I don't know anyone here that uses OneNote, although OneNote ships on Windows Phone 7 device and is a free download for Windows RT.
All of our customers use Word, and almost all correspondence, legal notes, documentation and customer specifications and critical correspondence are stored in conducted in the form of Word or Office documents.
People save from Word to PDF when they don't want a document altered, however this is a strangely false perception that this prevents the document from being altered... only adding a digital signature to the document could prevent its alteration; and this would work for any type of document, not just PDFs.
What was most cool about this morning is that I went paper free... I had a "Metro/Modern UI" notebook-style note-taking app docked side-by-side with the classical desktop running Word, and I typed in notes while scrolling the Word meeting agenda next to it. The divider between the two could be adjusted. The keyboard and mouse were definately integral.
The Surface is an able laptop replacement. Seems perfect size. People were gee-wized that landscape orientation works for the Office application for document reading, too, but I don't see using it too much that way; certainly not when the keyboard is attached and open.
The Surface tactile keyboard is really as much a landmark innovation as its touch keyboard is, if not more so. |
