OneNote Handwriting Recognition

I know that handwriting recognition wasn't really pushed as a selling point for the first release of the Windows XP Tablet Edition - it's just not there. I am in the process of converting several pages of handwritten notes in OneNote into text for my Acer C300 review. What a painful process. I realize I should have used Lonestar to do the writing -- converting my handwriting to text on the fly with the wonderful and incredibly accurate handwriting recognition engine that will ship with Windows XP Tablet PC 2004.

I don't know if the recognition engine in OneNote is the same engine used for the Tablet Input Panel, but I sure hope they upgrade OneNote soon to support the level of recognition used in Lonestar. What I like about OneNote is that I can just write freeform without having to worry about editing my words then and there.
