It will also be interesting to know whether Microsoft makes OneNote for Mac part of the standard Mac Office install, or if they will make you download and install it separately. With all of the Office development teams now part of the same group (something that didn’t exist before – Microsoft had previously, purposefully from what my MS sources have said – put them in different groups with different goals and objectives), it’s clear that a standardized, cross-platform look and feel may actually be possible with this next release. It clearly makes you wonder if the new version of Office for Mac will share the same look and feel as its Windows counterpart, or if it will still have the standard Mac UI elements. OneNote for Mac looks a LOT like its Windows counterpart, bringing UI standardization (within the suite at least) to the Mac version. Microsoft is rumored to be planning a new release of Office for Mac later this year. However, Microsoft today removed OneNote from that list and has released OneNote for Mac. Up until now, Office for Mac has been missing some big pieces – Access, Project, Publisher, and Visio are among those in the office that are still among the most missed. OneNote for iOS solved some of those issues. OneNote was pretty good on a PC, but until recently, getting access to the information you may have stored there has been challenging. Until the last few years, Microsoft’s been a bit absent from the party. You can access your information from just about any device, on any platform anywhere. The strategy with them has been to give users one common place to collaborate with teammates and to hold their information. Since then, they’ve been traveling at warp speed at the front of the cross-platform note taking app race. It really became popular in 2008-2009 when it released desktop and mobile device versions for most of the popular platforms of the day. Microsoft formally responds to cross platform notes app challengers like Evernote.
