Funny. I sold my last Macintosh (a Mac Mini) a few weeks ago because I wanted to trial Curio 8 but it wouldn’t run on OS X 10.6 and my Mini did not support 10.8 and I couldn’t find 10.7 for a reasonable price. So: Goodbye to Mac (still love my iPad 2), hello Windows 7 (not 8).

OneNote, though I use it for collecting info on a number of subjects, however, will surely not replace Scrivener (for Windows) for organizing my writing. I find myself using the outliner pane in Word 2010 more and more - for the manuscripts my publishers want to be in DOCX and DOC. LibreOffice’s Navigator pane pales in contrast to Word - which is not easy to confess for me, though.
