To add further complexity, OneNote was not easy to acquire. Microsoft didn't explain how OneNote fit relative to wikis and other types of collaborative workspaces within SharePoint and filled the central content and collaboration role OneNote would have played via the Groove Networks acquisition in 2005. There was also ambiguity about where OneNote fit relative to other Microsoft content and collaboration offerings such as SharePoint and Groove. As Microsoft's platform group struggled with a series of problematic releases of Windows for PCs and mobile devices - e.g., Windows Vista and Windows Mobile - OneNote remained popular with a small, but enthusiastic user base.
OneNote could have been a killer app for the Windows XP Tablet PC platform, but Tablet PC failed to gain widespread market success. OneNote was initially stigmatized by its close association with Microsoft's Tablet PC. The biggest challenges for OneNote during its first years on the market can be summed up in a single word: Windows. Overall, the original OneNote conceptual model required some unlearning for most users. Microsoft made it possible with OneNote 2007 to seamlessly share notes among multiple people, which anticipated the concurrent-authoring approach in Google Apps, Microsoft Office Online, Quip and other tools. OneNote also did away with the traditional File/Save model, automatically saving all changes. In many ways, the release was a break from the other Microsoft Office, with a flexible page-centric notebook model that had more in common with web-based authoring than the file model of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Microsoft OneNote was announced by Bill Gates in late 2002 as "an application designed to allow people to capture notes in one place and then organize and use them more effectively" and had its first release as part of Office 2003. OneNote's walk in the Windows wildernessĪlthough notetaking and sharing apps are new to many people, OneNote has been available for over a dozen years. OneNote has been misunderstood in part because of rapid evolution and in part because of Microsoft's Office 365 strategy.
