Just be aware of its shortcomings before you sink all your notes into it. Microsoft OneNote is the second best note-taking service available at this time, which will be reason enough for many people to adopt it. Because nothing else can top it, Evernote still holds PCMag's Editors' Choice.

Evernote remains faster, more capable, and quite frankly better, but at a cost that's hard to swallow. OneNote is pretty good if you've never used any other service before, but if you're switching from Evernote and are used to the Evernote way, the transition is rough.
