If you have a legitimate OneNote 12 beta version, you should be posting your

No, you said "I have a copy of OneNote 2 - Beta 1". Public information
comes from Microsoft, such as Owen Braun's blog
(http://blogs.msdn.com/owen_braun/) or Chris Pratley's blog
(http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/). Otherwise, anyone on the actual
beta, using whatever build is current, is bound by NDA and cannot speak
publicly.

If you have a legitimate copy of it then you should know perfectly well that
I'm not going to discuss it with you here. Meet me in the beta NGs and I'll
be happy to talk with you about all of the new features in great detail.

This is the wrong place to ask that question.
You should be well aware of that.

Yes Yes. I'll use the forums. Seems unfair not to be able to talk
about the positive features ... to the forums I go.

If you are a beta tester then you know what NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)
means. In fact you signed one. It means you don't talk about unreleased
software in public. If you're a beta tester.
ChrisPr and OwenB can talk all they want, they have that authority from MS.
We can talk about what they talk about since it's been effectively released
into public view by them. If you want to talk about OneNote 12 here that's
your business -- I'm not going to say, in this forum, anything that Chris
and/or Owen haven't already said.
If you'd like to discuss it more freely then go to the Beta forums where
such discussion belongs. Which you should already know. If you're a beta
tester.

Good to see your enthusiasm. But you're a tester because you're helping
Microsoft develop a better product - which needs to be done behind closed
doors.
I've been a tester for Macromedia in the past and have been bursting at the
seams to let forum regulars know of new features which were about to solve
their current problems. But it's vital for NDAs to be honoured. It's also
easy to spread misinformation if a beta feature is changed or even pulled
before shipping.

Too true. For one thing, a feature that's present in a particular beta
build might be changed significantly in the next one, or eliminated
entirely due to a conflict with other operations or whatever reason.
Putting the word out about something now, without that disclosure being
controlled by Microsoft, could cause a bit of disappointment when the
product is finally released. It could also be damaging by giving a
competitor a leg-up on what's going on behind the scenes.
Even more damaging would be disclosures of a negative nature, such as
complaining about a pet feature request NOT being implemented or griping
about a change in the user interface.
(I used to work at Ashton-Tate, Nantucket, Computer Associates and
Toshiba, so I'm somewhat familiar with the process from Microsoft's
point of view. I've also been a beta tester for other companies,
including Microsoft (Windows 95 and the VERY early MSN service), so I
understand from the tester's side of the arrangement as well.)
No vendor HAS to release beta product out to outside parties for
testing. It's important to the process of refining the product for
Microsoft to do so, and they're taking you into their confidence by
allowing you access to the beta software. Please honor that confidence
by respecting the terms of the non-disclosure agreement.
And no, I don't work for Microsoft. I never have, nor am I looking for
a Microsoft job or an MVP assignment or anything else. I'm not
connected with Microsoft in any way other than as a customer like
everyone else. I'm making this statement simply as one Microsoft
customer to another. As I said, I've been involved with betas before on
both sides. Being a beta tester is a privilege and a significant
responsibility, not to be taken lightly.
(Sorry if I laid it on a little thick, but that's how I feel about it.)
