The app can be used to write memos, notes, and digital notebooks, and there are options to sync content to OneDrive for access across multiple platforms. There is support for tags like Important and To Do, and notes can be protected with a password.

OneNote on Vision Pro works hands-free or with a connected keyboard and mouse. In the future, Microsoft plans to add support for Copilot, two-factor authentication, and inserting images from the camera or the Photos app.

OneNote can be downloaded from the visionOS App Store as of today. It works with personal and work accounts that are not managed by an organization.

Microsoft has made many of its apps available on the Vision Pro, including Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

Do you think Apple paid MS for this? Doesn't seem to be a profitable venture for MS, although they like the 'Onenote' everywhere roadmap.
No. I think Microsoft understands the potential of AVP and wants to have apps available for it. Expect more to come in the near future.

I'd expect the number of hours needed to do this basically amounted to a rounding error for MSFT. It doesn't sound like they really added anything particularly Vision Pro-specific to the app, so it's basically just their approach of being on all platforms continuing. I'm not reading this as a major bet on the Vision Pro from MSFT.

Correct. Microsoft (Steve Balmer) laughed when Apple introduced the iPhone. They lost a multi-decade long monopoly. I don't think they want to make that mistake again.
