I’m an academic, and I have a university-issued PC in my office. My home- and cafe-box is a MacBook. I’m a diehard OSX freak.

I gotta agree with those who say that OneNote is a rare flash of app-genius by Microsoft. It’s functional, forgiving, intuitive, and just very cool for research.

(You want academic productivity chills? Drop a .pdf of an article in a OneNote workbook, put it on share the book with a class, and watch the commentary emerge around the text. OMG.)

I’d love to see this app for OSX, though I have a hunch some of its more luscious features will go dark. It’s just a little too integrated in Vista, I think. But I’m no code-warrior, so I’d love to be proven wrong.

Hi,

Just wondering if you’ve found anything over the past couple of months that comes up to OneNote’s standards. I would really like the ability to tie emails (from Mac Mail? Or Entourage?) and meeting appointments (from iCal? Or … no Mac version for Mac Office?) to notes, plus the other features you’re looking for.

Any suggestions? I’m using Win XP w/Office 2003 now, but would like to become a OneNote 2007 (2008 for Mac? Or an early 2009 version out in the next month or two?) user.

I guess I can run Office 2007 in Win XP in a VMWare Fusion window on my MBP, then browse it w/ Safari… That’s probably what I’ll end up doing in the end, (unless you can save me from this fate!?)

@Mark: Sorry, but I’ll have to stick with Scott in this one: none of the brainstorming or notetaking Mac apps does what OneNote does: permitting you to paste stuff anywhere on the page and store it in notebooks and pages.

Maybe Notebook is something like OneNote, but its kinda strict organizational structure doesn’t fit my workflow at all.

I am sorry, but none of these products come anywhere close to OneNote. Not only is OneNote more flexible, but I can sync it to my Sharepoint site and access it from anywhere or share it to others if I wish. Not to mention that with a tablet, it is amazing.

I am a die hard mac users, but I have to say that most of the Mac apps (even office for Mac) fall way short in the area of real business.

Check out “Curio 4″ and “Notebook 2.1″. Especially Curio 4 is brilliant, even better then Onenote (which I love too)

Cheers

@KCorax: Thanks for the handy web exporter, I’ll try it tomorrow at work

As for Sharepoint, the word “server” alone is enough to make me shudder!
