"We believe that, together with the feedback you provide us, we can build a product that all of our customers will love," Myerson said. "It will be our most open collaborate OS projects ever." followed by Q: When it comes to your enterprise customers about Windows 10. How big has the push back been to get Windows away from Live Tiles, back to Windows 7 stuff? A: We don't hear pushback that we don't like Live Tiles. We hear pushback about too much training. So basically "together with your feedback" means "we'll ignore your feedback if it conflicts with a design decision we've already made"

Not sure why you would draw that conclusion. Do you really think people have a problem with the live tiles themselves? That's like saying users are opposed to "icons". Live Tiles are simply icons on steroids. The Q&A sounded to me like he's saying there's nothing wrong with the Live Tiles, but the UI was simply not lernable especially the dichotomy between tablet/desktop mode. They want to fix the latter problem, but don't see a need to ditch live tiles.

  Live tiles were one of the most contentious parts of Windows 8!

    My impression has always been that people misuse the term live tiles to mean the general interface. While I've heard people complain about about the "live tile interface", I don't think I've actually heard a complaint about live tiles vs static icons.

      Then why would the interviewer specifically bring them up as an example of what people have complained about?

        As a misnomer, while the speaker answered talking about live tiles themselves. At least that's my interpretation, per my initial reply. How I read it: "Q: How are you responding to push back regarding live tiles? A: We actually didn't see push back from live tiles, but learnability. We are addressing the latter."
