Version 14? What happened to 13?

12 is the latest on the street isn't it?

The reason why it is Office 14 is because in the US and some other countries 13 is considered an unlucky number.  So, people tend to skip 13 in many instances.  If you go into some tall buildings there is not 13th floor; it will go from 12 to 14.  This is illogical because if 13 was an unlucky number just renaming the actual 13 floor to 14 would not make it lucky.  It is the number that is supposed to be unlucky not the name of it.

Ribbons in ON?  I'll try it out, but if you are on a tablet, you're low on screen space already.  And yes, you can minimize the ribbon, but the small footprint, one click functionality on the current ON seems to make a lot more sense.  

Ribbons? I was so happy when I opened up OneNote 2007 and realized that it had NO ribbons. I really prefer the menu. Could you let us choose whether to use the ribbons or not? Just add an checkbox to turn on real menus to the options dialog.

It would be awesome if you'd build a simple way to share notebooks with others.

Right now I'm using live-sync to share notebooks with team-members living in different cities.

Why doesn't OneNote support ftp or windows sky-drive? THAT would be great :-)

Puhlease make it possible to collapse subpages

Please don't ruin Onenote like you did Office 2007.  I've switched to OpenOffice, but I still need Onenote to work correctly.  Let me turn the ribbon garbage completely off. I use a tablet PC and it takes up half the screen.

But whatever you do, keep in mind that we need it to work in a 64-bit environment.

Would be nice to have an addition to that fantastic bar that allows you to add or reduce space on a page. . . send everything below to a new page in the folder.  

Sometimes I find after I've been writing on a page for awhile, that it would be better organized otherwise.  Right now, I can lasso, but if I've got a lot there, that's tough.  So is copying and pasting box by box.
