It's a OneNote clone, crossplatform (runs on OSx and Windoze). It even have a iphone apps. <a href="http://evernote.com/" rel="nofollow">http://evernote.com/</a> I don't remember if we could import OneNote things in it without loosing formatting, but certainly you could run booth on windoze to copie much of the stock and move on.

Ive trialed all of the Mac alternatives – and none are anything like the flexability of Onenote.a

Sure, many have other stregths…
Curio is nice to look at (it includes a mind-mapper, but then mind-mappers are a dime a dozen to find these days), and a nice sketch pad; but lacks even basic tabs and organisation…so its difficult to understand how people could see this as a replacement..sigh!

Circuis Ponies Notebook is ok, and has some incredibly detailed automatic indexing features to show off (that I seem to just delete each time, or is it only me..?), has some basic tabs but lacks -any- document flexability (and even worse, its much touted 'Cornel note taking' page is essentially useless – lacking even outlining support!), and has some bizare page-turning design in it..

Devon-Note seems very indexing focused, and its page editing archaic and basic..great for lawyers I guess, but for engineering/science students..I doubt it..

Yojimbo is so basic I am suprised that people were even touting its advantages…

Scrivener – Is designed just for writing novels.

Heck Mac application developers…is this so hard to get right..!?
I just want a notebook application – for…taking notes..!
That means people want -full- page flexability, full tab support and basic indexing….not a program that automatically indexes and appendicies and does my dissertation (is'nt that what word is for..?)

Oh-well…

The best solution..?
While I do run VMWare Fusion 2 (which is a great program, and I be suprised if Windows->Mac users in a corporate environment can get away without ever needing it..) I've settled on Crossover – but purely for my Office requirements (it does'nt support much else..!) – as it does'nt require you to 'boot up' a virtual Windows OS, and has a -much- lesser memory footprint…no brainer really..!!

Use CrossOver for Mac, in order to run Win application over Mac without Virtualisation. 4. Use CrossOver for Mac, in order to run Win application over Mac without Virtualisation.

There is an alternative to OneNote for the Mac - it's called Journler and it is amazing check it out here - http://journler.com/ - I promise you it will impress you. I am a recent convert to Mac ( I have a MacBook) and I love it - was missing OneNote which I used for my research and found Journler - a request I will be making to the developer, Philip Dow, is for OCR capability (something lacking on the Mac so far) - OneNote is capable of copying text from a jpeg image which is a very useful feature. I HIGHLY recommend you take a look at JOURNLER Look no further!

I wanted something that aloud me to write on top of the music that my professor would release in .pdf format as well as let me have more room to bring up my own staff paper to write on. I had looked at just buying acrobat, but I really didn't want to spend that much money for just a few of the features. Enter Curio. The article mentioned it off hand, and I noticed a comment from someone here that said it had few downloads so they were skeptical, but they give you 14-day free trial of the FULL software, which can be extended for 60 days after that giving you a whooping 74 day free trial. That's more than enough to test it, and see if it meets your needs. I used it pretty much for the whole last half of our semester and was able to bring in pdf "previews" to write on in the idea space, and have another file "preview" of my staff paper right next to it for notes. I also used it to draw out blue prints for instrument designs and for mathematical calculations. You can do brainstorming, mind mapping, and tons else! It's great, and for us students it's only $69 so it was a great buy, even though it wasn't necessary for me to purchase it until after my semester was over, I still bought it the instant my free trial was up. I'd even venture to say that it is way better than OneNote. Try it out at www.zengobi.com . I tried jarnal, zebra, and a bunch of others, but this is definitely the best one. Only problem I've had is that the idea space can start to take up too much hard drive space after awhile, but supposedly thats been fixed. Also, if you write real small sometimes the pointer gets a lil jumpy, but I think that has something to do with the way the computer reads the input from the tablet.
