MBY said:Eh, after seeing Android widgets, Live Tiles are clearly inferior. Live Tiles were really efficient that it has negligible impact on system performance, even you pin heaps on Start screen/menu.
Also should also hibernate when let's say running full screen games. It needs to remember its position on each state. Like when docked and unlocked on laptop and tablets. I hope that Widget grid on desktop is smart even when resolution and monitor changes. Yes, there is Edge Sidebar, but not really the same since that's only for MS and its only meant for Edge users, and frankly not a great UX anyways. Similar to Vista Sidebar Gadgets which is on the right. Though for those who wants always on Widgets, Microsoft should also make current Widgets panel docked to the left screen. Windows have dedicated Show Desktop button on the Taskbar to replicate that. The experience will be basically like on Android, iOS and kinda like Windows Mobile of old when minimising apps/returning to home screen. On multi-monintors, user can dedicate all widgets on 2nd monitors if not used for windowed apps. On desktop with huge monitors or multi monitors, this more useful since on big screen, it's not always practical to have everything maximized. Having Widgets on desktop makes it always available as long as nothing covered on them. It is only available in Taskbar and oddly on App List only.
Ideally I want it on Start menu, but clearly Microsoft is still allergic to this, they haven't even reimplemented Jump List in Start menu which is a Windows 7 feature. But this is promising and hopefully it is pretty solid on first launch and will continue to improved (not abandoned like many features and ideads). I hope this isn't a half baked implementation that Microsoft tends to do.
