The removal of the Office OneNote 2016 desktop version download links is unacceptable.
We were promised in all of the news about the demise of Office OneNote 2016 desktop edition that "We could continue using the desktop edition as long as we wished" of One Note 2016. This is highly n...
For those searching for the undocumented links they are here. You cannot reach these from any other page on the Microsoft sites any more. I don't know how long they'll continue to work. They will not work for non click-to-run clients to the best of my knowledge:

Ok here are the links:
http://www.onenote.com/download/win32/x86/en-us
http://www.onenote.com/download/win32/x64/en-us
These are direct download links - not link clickable.
Sorry for the confusion. Don't know how long these will last but I was able to get to them eventually through the various pages - they make it difficult. If you're not in the US link in the correct language/country at the end.
Lee,
Thank you so much for this post! I reinstalled Office 365 the other day and found OneNote desktop version missing. After a quick search all news articles mention this, but was related to Office 2019.
