    Comments about Microsoft OneNote as an Alternative to Microsoft Loop

    It doesn't have the same collaborative features and is not a real-time collaborative experience, and doesn't support a lot of the mind-mapping constructs and concepts that Loop offers.

    The interface is very similar to Microsoft Loop where you can create different types of content and nest them. The one thing that I do not like is the inability to paste images into a page.
