"Yes it will be included with Beta 2," Microsoft beta coordinator Tom Oliver wrote in an Office 11 newsgroup posting. "You can get more information on the product from here http://www.microsoft.com/office/onenote/. You do *not* need to signup there. You will get it if you are on the Office beta."

Microsoft began accepting nominations for the second Office 11 beta last November. Beta 2 will be the last full beta phase before Microsoft releases Office 11 mid-year. As with Office XP in 2001, Microsoft will likely issue at least two release candidates before Office 11 goes gold.
