Finance: Rabobank, Paypal
Work: Office, MP-1, Lync 2013, University email, Office Lens, Telegram, PDF reader and Remote Desktop
Navigation: FlitsNav, HERE Drive/Maps/Transit, Trein and 9292.

VOIP: Skype and Viber
Travel: TripAdviser, Travel and Skyscanner
Games: Games, TrafficRacer, Temple Run 2 and Asphalt 8
Cloud: OneDrive, OneNote and Dropbox
Utilities: WOL, Files, DataSense, Nokia Beamer, PhotoBeamer, SysApp Pusher, Storage Sense, Transparancy Tiles and wpTorrent.

Nice list, I have a similar one.

I use them to avoid unnecessary clutter, and to avoid having more than one "page" on my start screen.

For some reason, the live apps folder addition is what tops off 8.1. It hasnt gained as much hype as cortana and notification center has, but to me deserves so much more. I have no idea, but it is just a cowboy and his boots, my bread and butter. Its so wonderful, and easy, fluid, and simple. it works as if it were some kind of technological breakthrough, when really, its just simple code and a little magic. Thank you so much microsoft for this.

Mine is still a work in progress. I haven't converted all my folders to live folders yet.

Actually loving looking at this thread for inspiration as to how the tiles can be used. Looks like changing to the smaller icon option makes using them more interesting. Will have to play some more!

Thanks all for showing your layouts.

Mine is definitely still a work in progress, editing as I go. No tile for Cortana, as I just press & hold the search button. When I get my 930 I'll probably use the extra width.

Awesome, I've adopted your style but I've included cortana where you have the weather, and placed weather where you have people hub.
