Poll Results: Which OneNote Version Do You Use Regularly?

81% of OneNote users preferred using OneNote 2003 vs 19% who preferred using OneNote 2007 Beta.  I am not surprised of these results.  Until recently, OneNote 2007 was in a closed beta and most OneNote users did not have access to it.  However, now OneNote 2007 is a public beta, I wonder if the results would be the same.  Look for a similar poll in a month or so.

Window Clippings v1.1

Kenny Kerr has updated his Window Clippings PowerToy with a few new features…

• Hot Key Support (can use PrintScreen Key)
• TIFF Image Support
• Option to Prompt for Storage Location
• Windows Vista
• Window Clippings takes advantage of window region information that the window manager tags onto themed windows as well as region information that particular windows may define explicitly. This worked great for creating window clippings of windows using the Windows XP class of themes but it doesn’t work for Windows Vista since windows are composited off-screen by the new desktop window manager using DirectX to create the effect of rounded corners, glass, etc.
• Anyway, Window Clippings 1.1 provides support for creating window clippings on Windows Vista and accurately captures the logical window regions that are rendered on-screen.
• Firstly, it correctly draws the background for the corners (either transparently or using the background color). Secondly, it provides the option of clearing the window background to avoid the effect of “dirty glass”.

Blogging Powertoy Cancelled….Maybe?

Matt from Windows With Ink was working on a OneNote to WordPress powertoy. As of today, he will no longer work on it or release it. This is because OneNote 2007 Beta 2 will have blogging support via Word 2007. Click here for information about the OneNote 2007/Word 2007 blogging tool.

Update: Matt wrote back and told me he might finish the work.  I encourage all readers to go to his blog and leave a comment and tell him to finish it!

AdminID’s side note:  While doing a little research on this, I discovered that the next version of Lotus Notes (“Hannover“) is being built on Eclipse RCP.
