OneNote is included!
Wow you have no idea how happy that makes me as a OneNote user since 2006 or so. It's my favorite part of Office.

They could even implement a differential update mechanism, just encrypt the deltas before uploading. (After careful review, since that might introduce some sort of crypto weakness.) I'd even be satisfied if some of the metadata wasn't encrypted.
Otherwise, I don't feel comfortable in having a detailed, personal, life journal. I want something I could access from various devices and record internal thoughts, while minimizing the possibility of anyone including close friends, getting access.
OneNotes default appears to be "hey, we'll drop this, unencrypted, in your Live sign-in default storage".
And then EFS on top of that, and each VM has its own encryption as well. So even a full compromise won't hurt the VMs I'm not using at the time.
But it doesn't help since OneNote's online slick-access-from-anywhere, doesn't do crypto AFAIK. So all my transparent crypto protect my local device, but OneLook uploads the notebooks unencrypted to SkyDrive.
The biggest win, I think is the internal "e drive" encryption, so that a RAM dump doesn't spill keys. That even somewhat mitigates Lightning DMA attacks. (Although the attacker could just hijack the OS at that point.)
It has just enough features without feeling heavy to suit our needs.
Hopefully one day...
