Scrivener-like outliner for Windows?

If the cork board is the most important feature you are looking for, I think you’re mostly out of luck in the PC world, with the possible exception of the Writer’s Cafe/Storylines option.

As for single-pane outliners, I’m afraid Inspiration is the best choice (perhaps the only still-supported choice).

If you broaden your definition some, however, there are still some interesting choices, in addition to PageFour:

- Liquid Story Binder is chock full of features (perhaps too many). http://www.blackobelisksoftware.com/

- SuperNoteCard is a nice index card metaphor with modest outlining. http://www.mindola.com/

- Writer’s Blocks hasn’t been updated in a few years, but also uses an index card metaphor. http://www.writersblocks.com/index.htm

- Whizfolders has a lot of nice features for writers. http://www.whizfolders.com/

- As mentioned a few days ago, The Journal is a strong writing program. http://www.davidrm.com/

And there are others, but these are the ones that first come to mind for me.
