Now that Office 2007 is released - and what a release - it's time to build a wish-list for the next version !
Here is what I really miss in OneNote and would be delighted to see in the next version :
- Visio-like diagrams : it'd be nice to be able to add "intelligent clip-art" to a note : we don't really need all the power of Visio, something a little more simple would be great, simply being able to add a shape and edit it's text-content.
- VSTO for OneNote : extensibility is such a good thing
- Ribbon like interface
- The ability to make an hyperlink of an image.
- A bug correction : undo will only work until a section is closed, and a password protected section automatically closes, so if you want to undo something you'd better hurry.
- a "user-wide" licence : the licence terms are too restrictive. I'd really appreciate another licence kind (even if its price is x2 or x3) which allows me to use OneNote on more than one computer. Or at least allows me to change the device any time.
- xcopy deployment : installing an msi is simple, easy and integrates with gpo, but beeing able to xcopy a software is really a plus and I'm not saying that xcopy deployment should be the main way to deploy OneNote, but only an alternate way.
