Firstly, I want to thank you guys for releasing OneNote for Mac.

No joke, it made my entire day to load up OneNote on the Mac Mini at work and be able to add notes to my notes from my Windows machine at home :D.

So thank you.

Question!

I read on the internets that the OneNote team is very much start-up like. How true would you say this is?

Also, I noticed that one thing that OneNote does differently from Evernote is how you can copy/paste web html into the program. Evernote mostly keeps the formatting the same, but OneNote does not.

I believe you guys have gotten around this with the awesome web clipper (which works really well). But I was wondering if it's planned to make copy and pasting from the web more accurate?

And lastly: What made you guys want to work on OneNote at Microsoft? How hard was it to get started?

Ninja-Edit: I can speel hurr hurr

Thanks for the response!

Regarding the internets saying something, it was something I read on ycombinator.com. Someone made a comment saying that the OneNote team has a start-up like environment, and it was a compliment. They were confident in the stuff you guys were doing/releasing, like the API for OneNote and the general way you guys were going about adding stuff to OneNote.

I also appreciate the advice for picking a job ;).

Greetings team!

One note is pretty awesome.

In particular, I like the web-clipper and how it snapshots the entire page into OneNote. I've noticed you guys have also released an improved version of the web-clipper too!

My question is: Do you guys have plans to add onto the snapshot that goes into the OneNote, from the clipper? For example, if I snapshot a webpage in it's entirety, would it be possible to also store the urls / links on that page?

A general question: Would you guys consider making the tool create a snapshot of the webpage? Something like Apple's Safari browser, which lets you save a webpage in it's entirety so you can review it later.

Thanks!
