Wonderful, so far
I downloaded the update to One Note yesterday upon hearing about it. Dis not have a chance to play with it until this morning and I must say that I am very impressed with it so far.
I loved One Note on my Windows laptop, but two years ago moved to a MacBook and have primarily used the MacBook over the past two years with Evernote on my iPhone and iPad as well. I have Evernote on all my devices, including the Windows laptop that I use when I need an app that isn't on the Mac (i.e. Access, Publisher, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2) so I can honestly say I only use the Windows computer 10-15% of the time. Evernote has been a good replacement, but after playing with the new iPad and iPhone apps I am very impressed.
What my hope that Microsoft will finally do is get their collective heads out of their collective butts and update Office on the Mac to match that of Office 365 and I mean ALL Office apps, plus get iPad versions finally out there for Office as well. They missed the boat when they didn't come out with iPad versions of at least Word, Excel and Powerpoint. The One Note app is fantastic, but without a Mac counterpart kind of useless to those that just have a Mac and do not have a Windows computer. The new Office for 365 subscribers for the iPhone is a small step in the right direction, but a lot more could be done. Although usable on an iPad, that app is crippled in many ways.
I am an Office 365 subscriber and I love the direction that things seem to be going and y hope is that the Mac version will be updated soon as well as iOS versions of the core apps. If they could come out with the core apps as well done as One Note has been done they should see a jump in sales.
I find it funny these days that the Office main apps, Excel, Word and Powerpoint, were originally made for the Mac and later ported over to Windows. Now those apps are treated like the red headed stepchildren. Quite frankly if I didn't use Office at work (which is 85% PC driven) I would have dropped them a long time ago.
I have no plans to drop Evernote at this time, but if the next version of the Mac Office suite includes One Note and is more in line with the Windows versions of the rest of Office then I will most likely drop Evernote and iWork. Of course if the newer version of iWork blows Office out of the water then Office will have to go.
