Microsoft is currently contacting the Contest Winners to get their PowerToys updated to work with the new Managed DataImport classes v1.0.1 (small bug fix for 2003 and adds 2007 support).
They will be posted in the Microsoft Download Center, with a link added to the Office Online OneNote PowerToys page.
The MS OneNote Developer that is now in charge of the Contest has contacted us and is letting us know a little of the behind the scenes efforts. I won’t quote him directly, but I do believe he is making a sincere effort to get the PowerToys released “ASAP”.
Note to PowerToy Contest Winners: Please, please, please update your code and send it back in. We’ll help you test in 2007 if you need it. We’ll do whatever we can to help get them posted!
