Ribbon menus in OneNote?

Where are they? Did OneNote release with Office 2007 without the new
interface?

Correct. OneNote 2007 did not get the ribbon.

According to an article in last weeks eWeek they're considering adding
it to both Visio and OneNote in a future service pack based on
customer feedback

Feb 5, 2007 issue
page 18
Office's makeover to continue
Ribbon based UI will likely be expanded to other Office applications

You must be joking...The ribbon is one of the best features of Office
2007. It takes a little bit of time to get used to, but, all the
advanced features are presented in a more pleasing fashion that helps
"non-power users" access the "power user" functions.

I can't wait until the ribbon comes out for OneNote (just as long as it
disappears in full screen mode).

IMHO (and for the sake of screen real estate everywhere) would it not be
better to just teach the "non-power users" how to use their menus? ;)

I mean, I don't hate it, I just don't like the footprint on the screen
it has and it interpretation of the need of the moment. Context
sensitivity is a good concept, but I think it has missed the mark with
the current implementation of Ribbons.

In other words, if it goes away in full screen mode I too would be happy
with it (but only because I happen to use that a great deal in OneNote).

(BTW, great OneNote videos, Erik. But I digress...)

It's not in Publisher 2007 either... I agree it does take up screen space but
most monitors are at least 17" these days. The ribbon is growing on me,
albeit at first it was a little clunky for me to get used to. I do not like
that different office applications have a different interfaces; some ribbon,
some menus. I think this was a bad move. I know it's a big job but geeze make
the programs consistant. They had 3 years to implement this from office '03.
