ON would be more useful if it had categories. I know they seem like folders,
but they are not, and I find them much more effective for filing and
retrieving.

Aloha rol,

Can you elaborate on what kind of scenarios you're thinking of here and how
folders (or notebooks in 2007) fall short for you?

Notes often fall in more than 1 category.
Yet, notes can only be in one folder at a time.

Why would contacts in Outlook have categories ?
Because contacts often belong to many different groups, not just one.

Good example. You can improvise categories with keywords but I would like
to see an improved category/tag capability in a future version.

Outlook categories let you differentiate and subsort contact items within
a single folder. Ideally you should keep all your contacts in a single folder
and use categories to work with them in sub-groups. That isn't always possible,
but it usually works out for the best, especially if you're synchronizing
with other devices.
