I use both -

Evernote for all those page snippets of interest, like tech, or passwords (encrypted), or all my hobby stuff. Easy to put in one or several categories. Also synchronize to a stick so that I have info at clients’ computers.

For writing articles I use Onenote, as I can click in different areas of a page just to make a note of a thought (or sub pages for sub thoughts). After organizing the thoughts I can copy to a word processor.

Oh yea, I think OneNote is a great product! It just isn’t suitable for me and how I use it… as a business user I would definetly go for OneNote. Actually not even business, for any multiple purpose notetaking like Steve mentioned.

@Jayson, there is a link.

How about a link to the Evernote page?

I agree with Steve on this one. I love OneNote and use it for school, work, planning (yep planning), and my website:

– On the left-hand side of the screen (Notebooks) are “Website”, “Grad Plan”, “Fall 07″, “Winter 08″ etc.
– Across the top (Sections) is class names (school) or months (website.)
– On the right-hand side (pages) is individual classes (school) or individual posts (website.)

OneNote helps me so much; however, this suits my personality, and I know it’s not for everyone.

For business purposes I find OneNote much better than EverNote. I’ve tested both at the same time and found OneNote much more intuitive and capable and it supports better organization. Evernote appeared to me much like just a better data collecting tool. Normally I’m not a user of MS products at all, use OpenOffice and we just have MS Office to open documents that clients send us. But surprisingly OneNote became invaluable in no time.
I guess it all depends on the users needs or “taste”

I’ve used EverNote on a USB stick for some time. However, another online product that isn’t bad — especially if you are using the whole suite — is Zoho Notebook: http://notebook.zoho.com
