Onenote and Outlook

I bought Office 2003 a few years ago and it came with outlook which I use quite a bit. I'm in school and have heard that Onenote is great for taking notes in class. I'm considering whether or not I should buy Office 2007 (the home/student edition), but I noticed it doesn't come with outlook. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get both. Should I buy a copy of Onenote by itself and just continue using office 2003? or would it be better to buy office 2007 bundle and continue to use outlook 2003?
 
No, office does come with outlook, just you need to buy the right version.

You will need Windows Office 2007 Enterprise Version, this comes with both outlook and onenote, it has everything in it, view here

I recommend to get it, i have it and it is great, but it depends if you want to spend the money. But it is quiet expensive, the more things it has in it the higher in price is gets.
 
Unless you resort to illegal means, like torrents and all that, your stuck either buying it, or using a trial. IDK which MS office 2007 i have, but i have got everything. Onenote outlook, the whole buckaroonee. even this funky weird thing called groove. I suggest you just buy the new outlook. WAY more economical.
 
Stick with 2k3 - world of (horrible, IMO) difference between that and 2k7. Have you looked into an open-source Note-taking application to save money?
 
I've been using word for note taking up untill now and a classmate recommended onenote so I really haven't looked at any other options. I think the enterprise version of office is probably a lot more than I need (especially on a students budget :)), but I'll start looking into some open-source apps. Any recommendations on other note taking software I should look into?
 
Really, all OneNote does is streamline the note-taking process. You can type, draw (if applicable), speak, (again, if applicable), and it will sort of clump everything together so you can sort through later. Honestly, if Word works fine for you, and money is a concern (as it appears to be currently with school expenses), if you don't absolutely need it, I'd just stick with Word.
 
I think you're probably right. I've done fine without it for a long time so I probably don't have to have it. I might download the free trial and see if it would really be something worth getting.
