A concept that’s close to going viral envisions a Start menu design that drops one key feature: the live tiles.
The look of this Start menu is cleaner overall and allows for more information to be displayed without eating too much space on the screen. While there are things that could be refined, such as the fonts and the position of some elements, the layout just seems to make more sense, especially in an operating system that’s supposed to help users be productive.
What I don’t like, however, are the colored power buttons and the size of the pinned apps, with the latter being too large and obviously requiring too much space in an otherwise clean design.
