Well if you don't look at the screen, it's the exact same, but it's sort of hard to wrap your mind around the fact that while you are going "back" to Metro UI, you aren't really quitting anything. It works, but it takes a while to get used to.

Oh, and I was quite surprised to see the MSE UI in Windows Defender. I hadn't read anything about that until it randomly popped up.

Ah, that's Aurora. I thought only Nightly had the blue-ish shade in the menu bar button thingy.

"That being said...it's not a big deal for me."

I tried using Sumatra, then PDF-Xchange, but eventually wound back to Reader. I like Reader X's UI, and Reader's print options are quite robust. Since I often send pdf's to onenote, I like to do things like print multiple per page and such. Sumatra had no such option and PDF-Xchange didn't have the prettiest UI.

Metro UI does make me want to touch the computer, but in general, I don't find things too awkward with a mouse. The most awkward thing is IE10's Metro (that shit should *not* be used with mice+keyboard), but the start screen—well, I sort of like it.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I use the start menu's search constantly, and I do pin some things to the start menu.

Haha, yeah. Unfortunately, people are lazy. /lesigh.

Yeah, often you can, but if the professor is hand drawing them on a blackboard, it's nice to have their image so you have the labels and pointers you need—nothing more or less.

It does work well, but if you're coediting, it isn't real time collaboration. Still nice, but when you're all taking notes at once, real time can be better.

You might also want to try taking pictures of the diagram through a phone and sending it to OneNote. I think the iPhone OneNote app might be able to do that through Skydrive (and I'm guessing you don't have a Windows Phone: it's pretty simple if you do)—but you can always just email yourself the diagram and copy/paste…

There is this: blogs.msdn.com/b/johnguin/archive/2010/08/18/solving-integrals-with-onenote-2010-and-the-mathematics-add-in.aspx for OneNote.

FWIW, you can do this with OneNote webapp as well—but of course, many people will have long forgotten their Windows Live IDs unless they're Xbox Live'rs.

As a Windows fan myself, I have to say that actually looks pretty good. Maybe it's because some things are a bit Aero-ey, but still. Nice.

Vote: Definitely OneNote. If you're doing some math work, check out this: [blogs.msdn.com] I have a Windows Phone, so it's extremely convenient to use OneNote—when there's some diagram or something a professor draws, I can take a picture of it on my phone and insert it directly to OneNote which automagically shows up…

Essentially Firefox add-ons/Chrome extensions, though.

Yeah. The curvy front tab is sorta similar to the manila-folder-like tab of Chrome, but the rest? Not so much. Looks sexier than Chrome if you ask me.

...in other news, Steve Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple.

Actually, they do.

Try out the UX builds. Crazy freaking fast. [ftp.mozilla.org]
