What steams me about UR is how earlier versions won’t work in the next version of Windows. That is, to continue working with UR when you’ve upgraded to a new version of Windows, you’ll have to pay more money to Kinook for the latest version of UR. Every other PIM I’ve ever had continues working happily in new versions of Windows. It seems that Kinook is putting some kind of “time-bomb” into UR where it will work only in the current and earlier versions of Windows.

It’s a shame, because UR does have some interesting features. I’d have to say the most interesting feature is how you can sync your UR database with external content. Say you have a folder full of text files - you can sync them into your UR database, and you can edit them in UR. Changes you make to those items in UR will be synced back to the text files in the file system folder. And if you edit those text files with some other tool, the changes will be synced into UR. This is a great feature IMHO. I think I’ve asked this before - what other PIMs can do this? I need to search earlier threads for the discussion we had on this.

Outwiker is interesting in this respect: “OutWiker is designed to store notes in a tree. Such programs are called “outliner”, personal wiki, or tree-like editors. OutWiker’s main difference from the other similar programs is keeping the tree of notes in the form of directories on disk, and encouraging changing the base by external sources and programs.”

Unfortunately there have been no new versions of Outwiker since last December.
