OneNote 2007 Trial Version

[Shlomo]

I downloaded the trial version. All of the demo files show up fine, but I
can't do anything such as create a new notebook or create a new page. I
thought the trial version was meant to be fully functional.
I just did all of this today, my expiration date for the trial is Jan 31, 08!

Any hints?

Well, after a very frustrating hour, I shut down OneNote and reopened it.
Now everything seems to work fine!

That's the news from here!

If it stops working again before your time is up, make sure that you have
activated the trial

I had a similar problem. I couldn't even create shortcuts in Windows
by copying from the start menu.

A reboot sorted everything out.

I think it installs Net 3 so I'm assuming that was the cause of the
problem.

Nah, OneNote doesn't use .NET (which is a trend in Microsoft that I'm not
too fond of). It probably had to do with the activation system.

OMG!

I thought MS were really into .NET!

I just assumed that OneNote used the .Net framework. The time taken to
display the Tools / Options dialog made me believe that it was a .Net
application.

Problem with .NET adoption in MS and performance is that few people
understand (even in Microsoft) what's going on in the framework. For
example, I see lots of people recommending NGEN, but few people mentioning
that if you do that and you don't change the default base addresses of your
assemblies and GAC, you incur the huge cost of rebasing + strong name
verification, usually slower than JIT.

I won't name names but someone I talked to said one of the reasons they
don't use .NET was because if parts of System.* or mscorlib get inlined,
then they can't be serviced through normal framework patches.
