I love how advertising shows people drawing annotations. It always looks so pointless.
Why did they circle that boat? Who is going to see it? What is the circled date on the other example? Did it get added to a calendar, or did it just go nowhere?
Can't they at least show cool young people working in a beach shop circling pictures of surfboards for no reason, like actual stylus users?
Unrelated to making fun of advertising... What happens to these examples when the site gets updated? Does it store a local copy? What if you want to update it later, but your local copy is now out of date?
I did just download Windows 10 to try in a VM, so I guess I'll find out!

"Inking and sharing so you can capture and communicate your thoughts: Everyone uses the Web routinely to share questions, thoughts, info and comments with friends and colleagues. Now with new inking capabilities, Project Spartan enables you to write or type directly on the page, comment on what’s interesting or clip what you want – then easily share this “Web Note” via mail, or a social network. Researching and collecting information from the Web is just as easy, as you can save your notes directly to OneNote."
- tropin 11y agoNo, seriously, what's the point in annotating a web page? Even years ago with pure static html webs made little sense.
- robotresearcher 11y agoA small niche, but since you asked: web developers and content editors. I often have to give critical feedback on web pages and I don't even do that for a living.
