I think she was in the car with the friend (he didn't know), or else that was a really dick move.

Hear Me Roar! reminds me more of Azula or Ozai
You forget that Iroh wasn't always the quiet, tea-drinking "Uncle Iroh" (OK, maybe the tea-drinking didn't change), and he can still be the Dragon of the West.

TL;DR and question summary at the end.
Hi, thanks for such a great product! I've used OneNote for years, started on a tablet PC from about 2007 (no touchscreen, just a questionably accurate stylus.) It was great then, and has only gotten better since. I tell everybody I know to use OneNote, but often find they've never heard of it, or don't know what it can actually do.
This brings me to my main point. Why is there such a horrible lack of knowledge about OneNote? It seems everybody who should know about it doesn't, or knows some about it, but not enough to convince them to switch. I think if more people knew what OneNote could do, there would be no problem converting most people over from whatever they use now (e.g. Evernote + some task lists and document apps.)
Does Microsoft have plans to market or advertise OneNote to more people? I feel that aside from Excel, and even accounting for it in most cases, OneNote is the best Office application out there, but it's very under-represented, and almost unknown. Even in education, one of the biggest potential applications for OneNote, it is still virtually unknown. I've met many students who don't know about OneNote, or if they do, don't know of many of the capabilities it has, especially in audio tie-ins and handwriting recognition.
In addition to advertising and general marketing, will there be a push to get OneNote out to students, to build up a body of people already using it that will be moving into the workforce? It's what was done with Office in general, why not emphasize the note-taking features of OneNote, and how easily it can be used and integrated into schools? Getting institutional involvement would be even better, if there was a way to promote OneNote through schools (i.e. give free trials/copies, teach people how to use it, etc.)
TL;DR So to summarize: 1) does the OneNote team, or Microsoft in general have any plans for better marketing OneNote. 2) Are there any plans to market OneNote to students or schools, and educate people on using it so that they might be more convinced to use OneNote in the future (i.e. in a professional environment.)
Edit: Some formatting, changed a few sentences around. It was written on mobile, so a few mistakes.
