Of One Note, Outlook and Office Home...

[jonaudet]

First, I have been playing around with office 2k7 a bit and I think it's
going to be great to work with.
But,
I noticed that One Note comes with three packages of Office (Home,
Ultra and Enterprise) but only Ultra and Enterprise do come with Outlook. It
would be nice if Outlook were available in some way (maybe a windows service
of some kind...) to the home edition users or if One Note would be compatible
with Outlook Express.

Thanks

If you really want Outlook, then you can buy it as a separate product.
Or you can buy a package that doesn't have OneNote, and get OneNote for
$99. Microsoft spent a considerable amount in creating those packages.
The general problem is that there is a certain price people are willing
to pay for a package while MS cannot bundle too much either at that
price. For example, if Home included Outlook as well, that would be way
cheaper than the other packages of Office 2007. That would upset then
the people buying the other packages. It's a tricky business, but those
are what the packages will be.
OneNote is compatible with Outlook Express. It works for sending emails
from OE to ON. More doesn't wok, because OE doesn't offer anything else
than email.

As a heavy OE user I can confirm that.
It's really great that on just mark a mail or a news-posting in the
list and then use Copy+Paste to transfer the *content* on a OneNote
page.
Doing this with Outlook 2003 will only place an icon and a link.

So its really comfortable to use ON for storing some important mail
stuff related to topic in a notebook.
