I totally can identify with this! Being a full-time seminary student, I understand what taking notes is about. But I am also a part-time webmaster, and let's face it, the Mac just performs so much better in programs like Flash, Dreamweaver and Photoshop.
I put up a link to my blog where I have outlined a new feature in Parallels called Coherence. It is really bridging the gap a lot! In case the link didn't make it through, here it is again:
Notebook view on the Word for Mac simply doesn't do justice to what OneNote is capable of. Subpages may be the biggest example. The fact that I can't have subpages in Word for Mac is a big disadvantage.
That is why I like this new Coherence feature so much. I simply click on my OneNote icon in my dock (no, that's not a typo—you will see on the blog entry) and the program opens, and I am off and running. It seems to run great. I have my Parallels VM running Windows XP SP2, with a 20GB hard drive and 512MB RAM. It does just great.
