More on OneNote — Chris Pratley: "In this release we wanted to get the application functionality first. We didn't want to introduce the possibility of [security] holes and viruses. The nice thing about having no programmability is you can't mess with it; you can't actually get code to run if you send someone a file from OneNote. [...] That's part of the idea: Keep it simple. The other thing was we kept looking at the way Outlook was done. They wanted to do everything, then when they shipped, people said "It's nice that you've got this and that, but that area is over-designed and I don't even need this whole section, and what were you thinking?" They had to do a lot of repair work afterwards to try to adapt to how people really worked. We [went] for the core stuff."
