OneNote for Mac on the horizon...

Ha! No sooner had I written that than I tried to create a new page in one of my local notebooks, and sure enough, the little message ‘Subscribe to Office to continue using this notebook’ popped up. Evil! Evil!

Actually, it appears that if I move the notebook to OneDrive, I can continue using it, but I don’t want to do that.

And there’s an amusing side. The page I’ve just tried to create does appear, doesn’t get deleted, and can be edited. So the little message box is lying! It’s just a PITA.

So to sum up: the message appears, but it’s lying:
you can EITHER continue to use your notebooks locally (just dismiss the lying message whenever you create a new page),
OR you can move them to OneDrive (without necessarily subscribing to Office).

Weird. Only Microsoft…
