I enjoy the tiles on my windows phone. But not so much on the desktop. Although I’m getting used to it. It does get a bit messy. It’s like having all kinds of shortcuts and saved files on a traditional desktop - so you need to strategize how to set up apps/folders/shortcuts/etc to avoid clutter.
I manage servers using Win 2008 Server so I still have an affinity for the start menu and tradition going back to Win NT and 95.
tiles on the desk would work if the computer was the “blotter” of the desk ala science fiction.
most people do not want a 20+ inch monitot in their face.
(BTW does everyone have their no google glasses sign up? Google glasses should be outlawed in any shape or form while driving, walking, in public businesses, medical facilities, ESPECIALLY medical facilities per hippa and privacy in general)
