Inking on Web Pages - Discussion

I wrote OneNote 2013 For Dummies and was curious when I saw this, so decided to check it out on my new Surface. Overall there doesn't seem to be a ton of info available obviously from the feature to make it make sense to me, but from what I can tell it just freezes the page in a way and lets you write on it.

This leads me to why this feature isn't OneNote, not Windows. It belongs in OneNote. One reason my book hasn't sold and people haven't used OneNote enough is the lack of integration into the operating system. Sticky Notes seem totally redundant to OneNote.

So, that said, if the feature moves forward I think it needs to be an extension handled by OneNote, which already includes this functionality.

As to its usefulness: the ability to mark up a page is obviously killer, but I'm not sure how it's implemented from my brief usage. Is it a screenshot of the page you're marking up?

Either way I think the feature obviously needs to move forward, but I'd let it be a OneNote addition. This would have the benefit of not having to recreate the entire feature within Linux.
