<rant> I've been using Microsoft's OneNote quite a bit with my tablet pc, and it's a rather nice bit of software. Much easier than the mounting array of notebooks I've been using otherwise, but at £80 I wanted to be sure before forking out so I thought I'd use it until the end of the trial and see how things were going. About a week ago it poped up a 'please buy me' thingy, so I thought I might as well, with only a week of the trial left. Unfortunately their online shop was down at the time, so I left it. I havn't had a chance to use it between then and today. Just now I start it up, and it says it'll expire tomorrow. So I go to try and buy it again, this time the website is up, but after entering all the details it provides a non-helpful "connection error - please retry or try later". After four retries I think I'm out of luck (and I sure hope I didn't just buy x4 copies of it). So I try microsoft.com instead of their uk online shop, but unfortunately this requires IE (grr) and doesn't sell to any filthy terrorists (ie. anyone outside of the US). I have to close down OneNote to remove the "insert registration key" bit, and start it up again to actually do what I originally intended to. ...except, it's now ticked past midnight, so it's expired. Damn. I can't do a bloody thing with it now, and with the bank holiday it'll likely be tuesday until someone will fix their lousy website. Heres a hint MS: If I'm trying to give you money, making things harder for me isn't a good idea. </rant>
