I don't like the tiles either, that's why I prefer ClassicShell too
Well yes I don't like the tiles. I use Classic Shell and I still use the quick launch tool bar. Right next to the quick launch tool bar I have an link to the original 10 startscreen, just incase I ever feel like checking out these live tiles. I did actually use one that I created for awhile "Gas Buddy" . Alas I finally decided its just as easy to check local gas prices with my phone and haven't used the startscreen since.
Why would they bother pay to buy something to deviate from their "vision" of a common interface across all devices - more to maintain etc.?
From their viewpoint, it adds no value (and I have to agree with that probable viewpoint).
The cost of buying it is next to nothing - you are lucky they allow you to use such tools - they could lock it down so it is not possible.
There is a W8 view, it's called Tablet mode but it's locked on desktops, all they have to do is to unlock it, no need to invent hot water again.
Go ahead, change it. I don't use it anyway, except to launch the Settings options. I keep everything else on Quick Access Popup and Blanch.
I love the tiles on the start menu as clicking on them to bring up my apps reminds me of when i ran a mac and had a dock...so i think tiles are really cool...:)
