Ian from Microsoft Whiteboard here. Ink to shape and ink to table are two early examples of how we're infusing intelligence into the Whiteboard's canvas. We want to start showing people the power of the pen (or your finger/mouse if you're inking that way!) and how many things you think are difficult to do (e.g. drawing perfect shapes) or multi-step UI things (e.g. inserting a table with X rows and Y columns from a ribbon menu) can be more naturally done by simply drawing them.

This is just the beginning, but you can imagine many more examples going down this road that will unlock a ton more value in the core "ideation" scenario in which Whiteboard lives.
