with the a target feature set are seeing more interest in activity in a time when a lot software creators are complianing that the demand for software coupled with jobs being exported to India is killing software. I am on most days optmisitic, and believe that software will always be a growth industry. Its hard for me to believe that we will have enough software soon. In about 100 or 200 years we might have developed every concievable information system and humans might have advanced to a more advanced type of communication and collaboration that may not need physical devices or whatever. But for now and the next say 50 years or for anyone thats alive today's lifetime, There will always be demand for software. Intel has plans to squeeze another decade into Moore's law, and 80% of the human race have never used advanced information Technology devices. We still have many many problems that will only be solved by computers. I could go on and on. I would say to whining folks in software, forget your me too mentality and do your noble thing. So long as you are me-tooing, so long as you believe in you own BS(if someone tells you that you are smart-you really shouldn't believe them since smart is relative), you will be part of the dperessing thinking that is a result too many me tooers who are too lazy to try and provide real solutions -they believe that IT is a game and they are the players and the customer are suckers. If you think what am saying is stupid remember MS,ORCL,Weblogic(competing with the spec maker, and free software) still make profits. And many many more and guess what like they say at MS , "we have barely scratched the surface." Unless you believe that you will still be using the same computer you are using right now in 2007, you know am right.

People LOVE ink and Notepad was never about taking notes. Windows Tablet PC Edition's Journal is the first real notes-like notes done on a computer. Creating notes with Microsoft's digital ink is the first real credible attempt at making it possible to forget that its a computer and focus on capturing your thoughts, or whatever people take notes for.

Loren proposed " Open Source Journal-like project" with an open file format . Many folks thought that it was a good idea with lots of potential. I confess i had previously thought that it would help if there was a way to get at the internals of Windows Journal.
Bryan Flamig thought it was a crazy idea, and Peter was sure it was an almost silly idea. I suggested doing an ink editing framework that would spawn all manner of ink editing applications. on the second day of this month I set up a workspace at gotdotnet after several names for the project were suggested and we were on our way with 8 volunteers signing up almost instantly. Today we started development after a final R1 Feature freeze development Team meeting last night. The initial initiative will focus on a componetized ink editing application and control to be released by the end of the week. That is the subject of this blog.
