Add tile notifications to shared Office documents
Please add tile notifications to shared MS Office documents on Windows Phone. Here's why,
I was testing how OneNote syncs between Web Docs and WP7. I created a new note on Skydrive, synced it with my phone and then pinned the note to my start screen.
I then realized that I wouldn't notice any changes to the document unless I opened it myself. Not very problematic when we're talking about something I did myself, however, imagine if that was a shared document that multiple people were updating.
In a business environment it could be extremely useful to know when an important document was updated. All it would take is a simple tile notification with a little number in the corner to indicate how many changes were made since the document was last opened.
Again, this could be very useful in a business environment and would go a long way in helping promote Windows Phone as a business ready device - especially when people start syncing documents between WP7 and Windows 8. ^_-
