Wow! I envy you. I would like to know when it will be released for general public?

Vista only?

Are there plans to integrate these features with One Note?

It looks neat, but I'm just not seeing a scenario where I would prefer InkSeine over OneNote. I am sure that developers have considered this and I am just shortsighted. It would be great if you could address this in your inkshow.

Man, I am sooo jealous! This program looks awesome...I've been wanting to get my hands on it for months. As for it's relation to OneNote, I think Ken Hinkley mentioned that one possibility for the product would be as part of OneNote. Or Journal. My vote is that they meld it into the OS so we can use it's funtionality throughout, but I know I'm dreaming now (:

Anway, this must mean that a broader release is imminent. Let's hope!

Hi Matt,

Can you ask Ken when the publicv testing will be available for a poor and impatient fellow like me?

Hi Folks! Here are some quick answers to some of the comments. Thanks for your interest and we hope people will have fun playing with InkSeine when it becomes more widely available. None of the Tablet PC MVP's machines have actually exploded in flames yet as a result of installing InkSeine so that is an encouraging sign :-)

- General Public release: We have previously announced it will be out in Q1 2008, as reported here on GottaBeMobile, but we don't have an exact date yet; it will be a reserach prototype (not a product) that you can download from research.microsoft.com.

- Best experience with InkSeine is on Vista. But it does work on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. Vista uses your email corpus to enhance its word list, so searching for words like "UMPC" actually works, whereas on XP it still thinks I'm searching for "Ump" :-) We also have some minor rendering glitches on XP that we won't be fixing any time soon. InkSeine supports both Tablet PC's and UMPC's.

- OneNote: OneNote is a very cool program, I use it myself for a lot of stuff, but not so much for inking. I think InkSeine and OneNote are good for different things. InkSeine's main value adds are in the search functionality, and in how we integrate some other functionality with a UI designed from the ground up specifically for the pen. The net result is that InkSeine makes it really easy to throw together cool mixed media notes on your tablet, with information arranged spatially on the page in any way that you see fit.

- Finally, if people see things in the Shortcut / forthcoming InkShow that they like or don't like, or if your favorite feature seems to be missing, post a comment and we'll take that under consideration as we do our external deployment.

Thanks Ken : ) But what program do you use for inking?

InkSeine of course! I've used it very heavily for all of my "real" notes, design sketches, etc. since about May of 2007.

Ken, Thanks for the update. I am looking forward to Q1:08!
