i like the post it sidebar app in windows 7, but it offers almost no features and so I'm looking for an alternative. Some of this features would be nice: - easy font formatting - better resizeable - an simple alert function

It should be small and simple to use, and not bloated with tons of features which are not often neede. I was searching for a while but cant find something propper. Anybody has an idea? Thanks!

TomBoy Notes for Windows - http://projects.gnome.org/tomboy/features.html

OSS freeware, very powerful, includes SN import plugin and W7 jumplist support, slightly tricky to install as it needs GTK and .NET1.1

"The key to Tomboy's usefulness lies in the ability to relate notes and ideas together. Using a WikiWiki-like linking system, organizing ideas is as simple as typing a name. Branching an idea off is easy as pressing the Link button. And links between your ideas won't break, even when renaming and reorganizing them."
