My school took the initiative to implement a Tablet PC program for all incoming students.

Thing is, the consensus was to use Microsoft Journal for taking notes over One Note. And I followed suit. Journal just has much better writing options with the pen then One Note does. I don't why they are but One Note's 'fine' ink is thick whereas Journal's 'fine' setting is actually a fine type ink.

The only drawback is not having the all in one software notebook deel you get with One Note. Though it's not at all difficult to have a folder for each class you take notes in. Journal will automatically convert your handwriting in the title area to text and use that as the default file name when saving. Though I found it much more convenient to add the date to the front of that. So if I took notes today, May 20th, my file would be 0520N - Semantic Web.jnt. Used to do May20N but then the folder alphabetizes them. Sorting by date view doesn't work if I go back and add some notes to older ones. Tada!

ANYWAY! Lol. Just letting you there is an alternative to One Note. There's always an alternative.
