Now that Windows 10X it is a fact, there are many who hope that the Microsoft to bring some of the characteristics of the new operating system in the full version of Windows 10, such as the new Start menu that no longer uses 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, it 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 the applications blend into the overall design in a more seamless way.
Brandon LeBlanc, senior program manager at 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 follow its plan faithfully. Last year there were many who reported that Microsoft was considering abandoning live tiles as they are not used as much. Also note that many developers are developing applications for the Microsoft Store that use static 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.
