OneNote for Mac now requires Mac OS X Yosemite

With today's OneNote for Mac update in the App Store (version 15.7.1), we've changed the minimum system requirements for OneNote to take advantage of the latest and greatest capabilities in Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10). Yosemite (10.10) is a free upgrade and is supported on the same hardware as Mavericks (10.9).

If you previously installed OneNote for Mac and are on OS X Mavericks (10.9), you can continue using the older version of OneNote for Mac, however in order to get today's update or any future OneNote updates, you must upgrade your OS to Yosemite 10.10 or later.

    I think it is legal, but not safe. I'd prefer to get link to MS resource such as their Download Center.

    I think it is safe, because You don't need to use downloaded program. And no need to run it

    just copy to /Applications and

    It will be automatically updated to official 15.4 from AppStore

    You must have any old version to update, but You cannot download it directly from Mavericks

    Finally, I found some old copy of OneNote, installed....and it was updated to the latest Mavericks compatible version "15.4 (141113), © 2014 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved."

    So, they still have it in Appstore.

    But it is unavailable for new users for some reason,  only as an update.

    Dear Microsoft staff, please give us a link to older version of OneNote compatible with MacOs Mavericks in this conversation. This will close this problem for now.

    When Apple will really fix all problems in Yosemite - users will move forward to latest versions. For now just give us older version as a workaround.

    Thanks in advance.
