Onenote: No Mac version — Use Jarnal, Curio as an alternative

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP Tablet PC E — these are neat little toys, super cool … not sure how they would relate to professional products?

The most important thing to consider is the type of tablet this is, this is a Wacom branded tablet with pen tilt, artist stylus and most importantly 1024 levels of sensitivity.

Every MS tablet that I have seen only offer 200 levels of sensitivity and no pen tilt, this includes the IBM on mentioned.

If you are a media/art person this is critical for you, if you just do outlook and excel this will not be a issue. The MacBook is designed for graphic professionals and they will appreciate the attention to this detail and a bit more on the price tag.

Please elaborate on what tablet based software is available for IBM/MS that is not on OS X?
