Launchers on Windows 10

[Ste Wilkins1]

Wouldn't it be great if we where to get launchers onto Windows 10, something like Nova Launcher for example.

That way we could completely change the way Windows 10 looks, ie if you want proper icons similar to Android or iOS instead of tiles or a mixture of both, plus change the size of the tiles to whatever size suite you best plus alot of other things aswell.

With Windows 10 for Mobiles being less restrictive do you think it's possible we could see launchers in the future.

Allowing 3rd party launchers would be as good as giving them access to the layer that both Apple & Microsoft do not want developers have access to, compromising the security. Even there would be possibilities that the OS's unique feature, Live tiles will be compromised to have limited functionality while "skinned". Yeah, it would been more fun to have different launchers, our own styles for the devices.

Personally I'd like to see default file-type handlers, default browser or email settings, and that sort of thing before I worry at all about a default launcher.
