MicrosoftI still can't get over the thought of this local storage announcement.
One of the only Microsoft products to have the “cult following” that other companies desire in their product and you are going to nerf it by taking away the local storage option.
I have a sneaky feeling that it doesn’t matter if over 75% of the user base said they would stop using the product it wouldn’t matter. The end user doesn’t pay anything extra for OneNote. In the end, it’s not about the user and I don’t even think it’s about OneNote. It’s about the push to force people onto Office365. It’s about money and that’s it.
William Devereux, Can you be honest and tell us that regardless of how many people stop using the product or complain, the local storage option is not up for debate. At least give us that common courtesy so we can go ahead and start researching and creating alternatives between now and 2025 (or whenever there’s a 2019 upgrade at work and they don’t allow OneNote 2016 for Desktop) because you have the decency to warn people that major suckage is ahead as they decouple the lives they’ve so comprehensively documented in a decent version of OneNote.
This isn't about convincing people to change, because they don't have an option to use the cloud. You can't win them over or write a program for them on the side. This is something any Enterprise product should do and it's still something I can't wrap my head around. The false hope of money is all I can come up with. All that money may be enough to buy a windows phone since that decision went so well.
