Chris Pratley has done a wonderful job detailing how much better the next version of OneNote will handle ink. This is a must read for all OneNote fans. Highlights of the new features:

Ink can now be copied and pasted from the clipboard and will remain ink!

You will be able to lasso ink and work with it a la Windows Journal (woot!).

Widgets will not show up while you write on the page- just like on paper.

As you write near the bottom of the page it will automatically extend to give you more “paper”.

Adding space between ink/ text on a page will move everything down by default, as it should.

There is now a totally new ink parser that can even recognize slanted text (one of my biggest problems).
