When will MS Dev Team understand (i.e. get it through their dense grey matter) that most of us are not arty farty people who freeform with fancy pen and ink devices.

Most of us are just ordinary guys using a standard keyboard and a mouse, and want to do good looking annotation with text boxes (typing words!), shapes, arrows and so on. I do not even know anybody who uses a digital pen!

Freeform annotation just looks like kindergarten annotation. If I did a presentation at work like that, I would probably be sacked!

How hard can it be to transfer key annotating elements of Paint (about as basic annotation as you can get) directly into snipping tool / pdf editing?
