    ok im really looking at switching my asus laptop for a macbook because its smaller and ive always been curious about macs, so anyways no matter what as a windows nerd il have bootcamp but i mean it would be easyer to use the mac most the time..

    so this brings me to my question, office 07. i LOVE onenote...... it seems like a dumb question but is office 08 for mac going to get onenote?

    From what I hear, it'll only have Word, Excel, Power Point and Equation Editor from its Windows counterpart. In addition, it'll have two programs that's basically outlook and publisher with different names and a few other features. No onenote.

    For individual applications there is also CrossOver Mac. There may also be a Mac equivalent somewhere, but I don't know much about OneNote.

    What all do you use One Note for? There's Google Notes and Circus Ponies Notebook (which offers a lot more). You only need One Note if you must tie your notes to Outlook.

    Circus Ponies looks really good! Almost feels a waste to buy it though if I'm getting Office 2007 which will have OneNote already...
