I think they only released OneNote for free because they are getting ready to offer their Office suite on iPad and other platforms, and they will charge for those. It is bait to get us interested. Well I was interested until I realized how utterly useless this product is without an internet connection. Didn't Microcrappy attempt this cloud only crap back in the late 1990s and discover that we told them HELL no?!?  |

I can have local notebooks, LAN notebooks, or cloud notebooks. (And my OneDrive syncs to my local PC anyway.)

You guys had me scared for a minute, but I just tested it. Offline works fine for me, just like 2010 did. Cloud notebooks sync up when you go back online.
I've been nervous about MS' intentions both for subscriptions and clouds for a long time, but I'm thrilled with how they're treating OneNote so far. I'm still testing 2013 out on my W8 tablet before I replace 2010 on my desktop, but so far, I see no reason not to upgrade.
