Now that Windows 10X is a fact, many are hoping that Microsoft will bring some of the features of the new operating system to the full version of Windows 10, such as the new Start menu that does not uses now live tiles.
Of course, Microsoft does not seem to be willing to go that far, but a teaser that it presented during one podcast of Windows Insider a few hours ago, reveals an updated Start menu that does have live tiles, but is somewhat different, as you can see in the image below.
So Microsoft does not remove the live tiles, but the color blocks it uses in the Start menu, which makes the new menu look much more refined.
The change is not significant, but it simplifies the Start menu and allows applications to blend into the overall design in a more seamless way.
Brandon LeBlanc, senior program manager of Microsoft, says live tiles are here to stay, so we probably won't be getting rid of them anytime soon.
"Those who enjoy live tiles will continue to be able to do so," he said.
Of course, this does not necessarily mean that the company will faithfully follow its plan. Last year there were many who reported that Microsoft was thinking of abandoning live tiles since they are not used that much. We should also mention that many programmers develop applications for the Microsoft Store that use still images.
It remains to be seen, but for now Microsoft is considering changing the existing Start menu a bit without making any dramatic changes by adopting the Windows 10X menu.
