Last I was aware, the Windows version is still in Beta… is that still the case?

As of July 1:
“We are proud to announce that Notebooks for Windows 1.0 is now available for download and purchase.”
License is $21.99.
Just noticed this; very scary:
“Items you delete in Notebooks are deleted from your hard drive as well.”

I have to admit that I use it mainly in my Mac and I am testing windows version right now, but I haven’t found all those problems you mentioned. It takes 43 MB on my Win8 machine and I can move around my notes all along the folder structure. There is no export feature at this moment, but you are working on actual files in your HD. There is an option where you can open the folder where the file is and you will see a .txt for plain text files, a .md for markdown files and .htm for rich text files (these are actually encoded in HTML).

Hi Hugh
I post these things occasionally because people seem to find them useful. They take about fifteen minutes to write and that one’s been viewed a few thousand times. I doubt it has any commercial value to me but for such a small amount of effort it seems to spread worthwhile information, rather more than a blog that simply says, ‘Please buy my books’.
Is that not logic enough?
