OK, after watching the full blown video I’ll offer this– I can see the multi-editor capabilities getting tied into SharePoint portals so that a business and client can collaborate on a document. **THAT** is incredibly useful, regardless of application.

But I’m sorry… depending on a web connection to edit my documents… that still seems absurd to me, especially in a corporate environment where you’ll already have the client version installed. Nevermind the plethora of security and dependability factors involved here.

I can understand where you're coming from, but I'm envisioning the enterprise adopting this to complement their existing Office deployment. Meaning, they can get more potential productivity out of employees by allowing online document editing and creation. Some businesses simply can't embrace this due to regulatory issues, but small and medium sized businesses just might.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t see the enterprise moving to cloud computing anytime soon. IT Administrators like myself are already constantly struggling to keep a tight lock on our company data that there’s no way we’re going to collectively open the doors to cloud computing. Yeah– let’s trust Apple, Microsoft, and Google to host all of our data?! Microsoft with all there security flaws, Google with all their privacy flaws, and Apple with ridiculously hyper-controlled, overpriced solutions. No way. Never going to happen… certainly not at the hyped-up levels that tech pundits keep claiming.

I’m not anti-web apps, I’m just very cautious on how far I trust it.

There is a demo of Onenote on the web here, the screen resolution is a bit low I find (is there a hi res version?) but they also briefly show Onenote 14! http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/PDCNews/First-Look-Office-14-for-Web/
