Awesome. Poor Outline ( http://outline.ws/mac ) :(
I never knew this existed. With OneNote for Mac not supporting local or encrypted notebooks, I'll be trying out Outline.

#72The one big feature that is missing for me is the print to onenote printer driver.

#73Microphone! If you connected a microphone to OneNote it would sync the audio with your note taking (I had a Tablet which I used to hand write my note) Was the best thing EVER.
OneNote will even search handwritten notes and audio.
Study Guides = I would then click on my notes and OneNote would play the audio of the professor and I could relive the lectures that went with the study guide. Everyone loved it in my class. I would email them the audio files if they missed class. No one else ever would use it. I even had the college I worked for purchase OneNote for all students and no one ever connected a microphone and few used it. SAD
Re: Introducing OneNote for Mac
#74I've been looking forward to OneNote on the Mac for years. I installed it and found out there is no option for offline notebooks; all notebooks appear to be synced through the OneDrive cloud. WTF? There's not even the option to encrypt notebooks in the cloud. I'm just not going to share all my personal thoughts and notes with the NSA. I'm disappointed.
and no OneDrive for Business support still. Really tough to sell any company on using that service unless they're a homogenous Windows environment. "It's kinda like DropBox except you have to always use Windows". Microsoft: supporting BYOD as long as you're bringing Windows. On a positive note, it's nice to see Microsoft being a good ecosystem citizen and using the Mac App Store. OneNote is visually pleasant, at the…
That's odd, because I have the OneDrive client for Mac and iPad. But I'm using the consumer version tied to my outlook.com account.
I've been an Evernote user for years, but now that it's available on all my platforms, I'll at least give OneNote a test drive.

There is no trying out on Outline. You must buy is ($40). Outline is relatively new, editing was recently added. As such, it is limited, and somehow buggy.
Hopefully the release of OneNote free of charge will not stop Outline on its tracks.
Re: Introducing OneNote for Mac
#76Meh. Against my better judgment, I downloaded it and poked around. Predictably, it does not play well others. Most notable, there is no export functionality. There is a 'Share as PDF' which is (a) not the same, and (b) broken for me because 'my email program is not set up properly' which is false. Hard to trust. (Evernote has a fine export capability, fwiw). One Note will, however, appeal to people who prefer 'struct…
This is a surprisingly good offering from Microsoft. The quality of software here is much better than Office for Mac.
I am disappointed at the missing "Print" functionality as well as the broken "Email Page as PDF".
Re: Introducing OneNote for Mac
#77How exactly is this better than Evernote?
Its pretty equal. There is more microsoft integration (obviously), and its setup more like a notebook rather than evernote which feels more like digital post-it notes. Not sure how sharing/colaboration compares.
`There is more microsoft integration (obviously)`
I'll take Evernote any day.
Re: Introducing OneNote for Mac
#78I wish it felt like it was made for the Mac -- hopefully they'll work on it more. - Standard Mac keyboard shortcuts don't work (ie. ctrl-a & ctrl-e to move to beginning and end of lines) - Can't drag a picture from the Finder into the OneNote
Interestingly, ^A moves to the start of line but ^E does nothing. Strange oversight.
Re: Introducing OneNote for Mac
#79It doesn't allow use of digital ink on Mac. I'm quite disappointed in this. In older versions on Windows one could drag and drop PDFs and images. You can't on the Mac version. The layout is great and it looks and feels like a slick application. If you are doing notes via typing and don't have to insert many images then this will be a great application for you. It beats Circus Ponies in look and feel and is much more…
At the moment you can't even drag and drop a url from the browser.
I think I'll stick with the somewhat mediocre Notes.app that are included with OS X for the moment. If we take away all the gloss, and the fact that you can't have multiple Notebooks, and sharing, and .. and .. then we are left with basically the same. :) Another objection is the max password length of sixteen, that may be long enough but...
Re: Introducing OneNote for Mac
#80Free, good looking, fast (so far).. color me impressed. And I access my notes on iOS, Mac, Windows, Windows Phone and Android? Maybe I'm being idealistic but I'd love to see Microsoft become a truly cross-platform "enterprise-quality" software house. There's tons of great software out there, but rather little that works seamlessly (or even well) across iOS, Android, Windows and the Mac.. and with its resources, inhou…
Can I access through a web browser? And from my Linux desktop?
