I use the regular one for taking notes - a keyboard is great for history and humanities classes, but doesn't work to well for diagrams and equations in math/science. The software is annoying since you can't write/draw directly into Word - you can only save it as their file and then convert to a Word document (and you have to pay if you want the software version that will also convert the images).
I used Microsoft's OneNote in graduate school to write notes using a digitizer/touchscreen and it worked great. The only downside is getting stuff out of their file format. I'm sure I have hundreds of pages of notes in a format that is barely accessible now. It's too bad the software for this has a similar problem.
