I've been looking at a good document management/note-taking app, to use in legal work, and I've found it surprisingly difficult. My needs are simple: 1) Rich-text notetaking; 2) DOCX/PDF markup, ideally with annotation extraction; 3) indexing and search of DOCX/PDF with preview; 4) drag & drop desktop integration; 5) mac + pc. The cloud-only solutions are right-out. Evernote comes pretty close to hitting all the points, and the Skitch-derived PDF annotation summary is awesome, but the Mac/PC databases aren't compatible so they can't be put on a shared drive.

I am starting to think that those kind of features should be integrated with the OS. So many cloud style apps are just irrelevant because they sit in their own ecosystem that excludes how most businesses actually organise things (with files on shared drives). I should be able to annotate things with the same set of tools and have the OS intermediate.
