Requesting a Couple of Improvements from Microsoft on Outlook

After Microsoft complied with my request of pre-scheduled e-mails, I have a couple more. I am also letting Microsoft wake up to the idea of crowdsourcing.

• I want to have the ability to attach a note to an e-mail or a meeting invite. This is following the paper concept of scratching in a couple of lines as notes on printed documents to either direct your attention to something or serve as a memory refresher. If we could just drag these electronic versions of ‘Post-It’ Notes onto the Outlook items. I want the ability of these notes to be for my personal viewing instead of getting transmitted with any Meeting updates or outgoing mail to which these might be attached.

• My other request constitutes the ability to designate certain invitees as key stakeholders for meetings and for the calendar to show their unavailability separately from all the other users. For example, Outlook now shows me how many people are available at a certain time slot. Let’s say it’s 6 out of 12. If those 6 participants are not key stakeholders, I would be better off rescheduling.
