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.
- pyrocat 12y agoLive tiles were one of the most contentious parts of Windows 8!
- Eyas 12y agoMy 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.
- pyrocat 12y agoThen why would the interviewer specifically bring them up as an example of what people have complained about?
- Eyas 12y agoAs 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."
