I just purchased Omnifocus and have been very impressed, and am trying to decide whether or not to purchase OmniOutliner. I just got the entire Microsoft Office 2008 suite on my mac (for cheap, of course), and I'm trying to see what the real benefits of OO are.

I think it would make it very simple and painless to manage several phases of my business, from finances to web content writing. I like it, and I'm definitely considering the Pro version.

What benefits does OO have over the brand new Office suite? After using Office 97 for years, I think the note taking feature in Word 08 is very slick, and Excel has incredible templates to get pretty much any project done.

What are your thoughts? It it the simplicity that makes it sell, or is there more to it? Omni is awesome, but Microsoft will never lose the software game. They own too much of Apple.
