Quoting impinc, reply 7Not trying to be difficult here, but how is that image in the OP minimalist? Wouldn't it be more minimalistic to NOT have tiles, and just use the start menu? The start menu takes up less room, and you can pin stuff to it. I guess I just fail to see what this brings over the start menu.
It's better than the start menu because with Tiles you only have the apps/folders/files that you want. With the Start Menu you have to go through everything in All Programs. With Tiles, each tile (page) can be organized how you want it. And you can always put it on autohide for a minimal look.
Like Gwenio1 stated, this is all stuff you can do with the windows taskbar. The bar that tiles uses is WAY bigger. Both can autohide. Both can have whatever icons you want in it. I'm just curious to what tiles does that you CAN'T do with the taskbar. Like I said, I'm not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand the advantage of this program.

You think the Start menu is more minimalist than Tiles?

Wiseass, heh. I meant the default taskbar. To me, that bar for tiles is WAY bigger than the taskbar. I'm just trying to see the advantage of this particular app. The only thing I see is that you can group icons together like in that shot above. But advertising it as minimalistic is a bit much.
To me, THAT is more minimalistic than the tiles one. Granted, I dont usually bother with a desktop image because I usually have a bunch of apps open, and dont see it anyways. And I haven't yet bothered to remove the IE icon, but that takes two seconds.
