Microsoft Live Tiles, usability, and surprise

Microsoft presented live tiles or live tiles for Windows Phone. The feature was first seen with the release of the Windows 8 operating system.

Live Tiles have not changed much since then. With the release of Windows 10, a couple of new options have been added that define new sizes in tiles.Live Tiles

What do Live Tiles do? Except they work like one to open a program or app, tiles can also show you information right before you open the app.

The most common example is the tile of weather or news.

Do you really think the new feature Microsoft thought of adding to its mobile devices?

Προσωπικά τα Live Tiles, στον υπολογιστή μου φαίνονται κάπως άχρηστα. Ίσως η εμφάνισή τους σε ή τα κινητά τηλέφωνα, να είναι πιο χρηστική αλλά σε υπολογιστές, είναι σχεδόν άχρηστα στη σημερινή τους μορφή.

First, in Windows 10, they only appear in the start menu. But when you open the start menu, you already have a specific one in your mind and not paying attention to the tiles and their details.

Unless you open the start menu and wonder how many nice tiles Microsoft… has created…

If you are not one of them, you will type the name of a program or search term directly, and Live Tiles will not distract you if it appears on it at that time.

Do you insist that "living tiles" are needed?

The place where the company has placed live tiles is not ideal. They first appeared on the Windows 8 start screen. Truth Who Sits To Look At The Start Screen To Get Information? Besides, the information provided by Live Tiles is not something that is useful.

They are there to distract, but even so, they have placed them in the wrong place.

Η Microsoft ανακοίνωσε πρόσφατα ότι έρχονται μερικές εκπλήξεις στα Live Tiles και στις ειδοποιήσεις του Windows 10. Τις εκπλήξεις μάλλον θα τις δούμε στο Build 2016 Developer που θα γίνει στο San Francisco από 30 Μαρτίου έως 1 Απριλίου.

To see what will change…
Live tiles could become more appealing to users if Microsoft unpacks them from the startup menu and allows users to place them on their desktop.
