OneNote 2010 Technical Preview

Today is a very exciting day because we are releasing the Office 2010 Technical Preview which is our first public debut of OneNote 2010 (and all of Office).  Here are some details, I love thinking in lists so you get a list:

  • Office 2010 is available in 32bit & 64bit
  • The build number is 4006.1100
  • Selected tested who signed up should be getting invites later today
  • We can’t wait to get feedback from you all with Send a Smiles and newsgroup posts
  • Thank you much for you interests in OneNote & Office!  I think you will enjoy
  • Note it is a technical preview, I use it every day, I don’t even use Office 2007 any longer, however there are still some unpolished edges that we are still working out

 

Enough about logistics, what’s new in OneNote 2010?   We have a ton of new features that I am super excited to talk about and over the next few weeks & months we will post stuff on our blogs (mine, John’s, Mike’s, etc).  In due course we will tell you about all of the new features, but here is a quick teaser:

  • Fluent/Ribbon UI, OneNote now has the same Ribbon UI which was introduced in Office 2007
  • Sharing notebooks are so much better, know who wrote what, what’s new to you
  • Improved Search and organization and navigation in the UI is better, helping you find your stuff faster
  • Improved storage and sync
  • OneNote Web App

Exciting times and now we can finally have a dialog with you all about these new features!
