Great news. I hold out hope that Widgets can become the informational replacement for Live Tiles from Windows 8 and 10. I can even see the logic in that: most programs/apps don't need a live tile or have any information to present, so put their launchers on Start, but for those that can benefit from showing some info, the Widget panel is perfect. Not sure that 2 places are better than 1 more flexible Start menu, but given how few people used Start or organized their Live Tiles, this could be a better approach for the overall market.
