Good news: An update of Info Select 10 has just been released. It can be downloaded using the following URL: http://www.miclog.com/ftp/is/10/ . I now use IS10 (and before IS 2007) for some five years mainly as a document management system and I am extremely satisfied. Only can recommend IS. Completely different from the ransomware / vaporware EN.

Why do you recommend it? What things does it do better than everything else?

@bobmclain: It is one of the oldest outliners that exist. Also, IS is updated quite frequently. Small footprint; you also can run it from an USB stick. Unless EN, there has been not password theft. Your data is not in the cloud: it belongs to you.
EN had quite a hard time as a lot of users have become disillusioned. Also, imagine if EN shuts down. What about your data? UL is a copy of IS.
But you will find all that by googling anyway. Guess the question rather was rhetorical.

by EN, you mean Evernote?
Evernote’s not cloud-only. You also have your data in a local database, accessible with desktop client software. So if Evernote goes under, you still have your data, right?

I’ve always had a soft spot for InfoSelect. I used to use it seriously about ten years ago, but the updates seemed to make it worse, not better, so I didn’t upgrade after being dissatisfied with 2007. It’s nice to see that they continue to issue minor updates, but it is scary to see that their website still has a copyright notice of 2009. Not to mention that it costs $160 to upgrade or $250 for a new license. They do have annual subscription pricing of $70 a year, but then if you do that you’re held just as hostage as you would be with Evernote.
