I think this was a great interview. Interesting that the early emphasis for OneNote was ideation rather than outlining or structuring, which is exactly what Brett and team have been talking about all this time. But it was also surprising to hear how much emphasis there was on providing "disorganized" people with a platform to dump their content then organize it later, which is a very different take on outlining. I certainly know how useful OneNote is at that. The focus on speed and intuitiveness of input is also appreciated (vs. very structured data entry). This was a nice glimpse into the minds that created the product that we really appreciate.
I loved what he said 'marketing is a crutch'. I think this is what I do not like about Microsoft in general. Their over-reliance on this crutch at the expense of product quality. Focus on the product and let it speak for itself. One thing I do not understand is why the ON team was subject to this major & failing UWP experiment. It really is inexcusable and I hope the decision makers are held accountable and replaced.
I've never really done an interview. Turns out it's not like a normal conversation. In review I found myself completely irritating! Lesson learned for next time. Still thought it was worth the upload, thanks to Chris' input!
I've never used it on desktop, but love the Android app. One glaring omission is that it does not have tags. Does anyone know why it wasn't implemented on mobile? I currently have to use a manual tagging system, which is ugly and disorganised.

I have once met Chris and had the chance to THANK him for OneNote and how it changed my life completely. Thank you for this interview!
Great interview. The clip champ stuff was also a bonus.
I'm really very thankful to this person. Thanks for the interview.
Great talk Brett. Thank you. Fantastic insights on the past and future of OneNote. It shows that both of you enjoyed the conversation. Way to go.
Probably one of the most humble leaders I have ever met!
Way to Go Chris !! Great way of recapping the vision of OneNote!
A great interview
Nice that he's keeping with the purple OneNote theme.
Superb I enjoyed this a lot, thank you 👍
Great interview. Thanks for the access to an insider's thoughts.
Great! I love it. MS marketing should take a look…
Great interview.

Great info! While time may have been a consideration, the interviewer would do well to try to interrupt the guest less if he can.

Really interesting content, no worries. I would have difficulty letting the guest speak too haha

Great interview. So good to hear first hand of the thinking and history behind the best Microsoft tool of all! #LoveOneNote
I've tried to like Word Outline mode, but it never was all the helpful creating docs.
