OneNote only comes with Microsoft Office. Which you can also purchase for Mac. Xcode is free. A developer code signing certificate costs money whether you buy it through Apple or Verisign. Want to release trusted apps on Windows that don't throw up scary looking security warnings to your users that download them? Guess you'll need to pay $299 a year to Verisign or some other CA for that privilege.
Gatekeeper is actually a cool feature because now any developer will be able to release signed applications without going through the app store approval process. If they do nasty things, their certificate gets revoked. You get the benefits to the user of running signed/trusted code, and the benefits to the developer of deploying for free, without app store approval.
- hmottestad 15y agoMind you though, to spare some confusion, there is no OneNote for mac, even though mac has a special edition of Word that implements a few of the features of OneNote.
- masklinn 15y ago> A developer code signing certificate costs money whether you buy it through Apple or Verisign. According to Gruber, signing OSX apps will be free (which is sensible: it's really a service to Apple)
- illumin8 15y agoSorry if I wasn't clear. It still costs $99 for an ADC account to release signed apps through the Mac app store, however, now with Gatekeeper you will also have a free option in case you want to distribute signed apps on your own.

- jaylevitt 15y agoFYI, Office for Mac doesn't include OneNote, which isn't available on Mac.
- aiscott 15y agoWhich is really too bad. OneNote is among the few windows apps I really like.
