Finally someone who is objective. With 1 Billion android users, something that looks familiar is always a plus to get someone to switch. IMO, tiles are great for business use but may have little impact for personal use. People especially teens like to display pictures of love ones and having...

Isn't this a much better desktop than having a screen full of colorful tiles, not everyone like the busy look. I say give customers two options

Ok lets get real about live tiles. Keep in mind, I used WP 7/8 and now WP10 on a Nokia 1520. Here are the core features of a phone that people use daily: 1. Phone - Live tile displays the # of calls (no different than IOS and Andriod) 2. Messaging - Live tile displays the # of IM received (no...

sorry but windows 8.1 brought Live tiles closer to the surface, to get this in windows 10 you have to be in tablet mode.

What it needs is a new curb appeal. Making the interface exactly like windows 10 on desktop (with minor tweaks) is what i was trying to illustrate. The only difference is table mode will show start screen always (like it do now) or none tablet mode which give you the quick task bar, search and...

Unfortunately, with 2% of market share someone at MS need to make a bold change. No one is willing to admit the current interface is not working. You may think Android is a mess or IOS is boring but not to 90% of mobile users. Sticking with tiles and making them transparent is not the way to go...

You have a good point Timmay! the start menu on the phone is not illustrated very well. The intent was to allow a choice between an android type desktop with limited icons (just the important ones in the taskbar) and if you need the traditional start menu, just click on the start menu to show...

That's because you do not think outside the box...i guess having a scene filled with icons is much better. At 2% market share, android and ios already won. The start screen was rejected by consumers. And not having a vision will surely keep it at 2%.

Drive sales, customer walking into store will see a familiar interface because it can look similar to android with nice background images and just icons that are frequently used instead of cluttered page of icons. Android did the same thing which is to make the interface closely match ios.

Ii think it will be awesome because it not too busy and it gives mobile10 a familiar interface like its big brother. It also allows people option instead of being stuck with one interface.
