Will Live Tiles go down in history? Windows Lite may be the first Windows to do without them since Windows 10 arrived

We have already talked about Windows Lite, Microsoft's proposal to stand up to Google's Chrome OS, which tries to win the game in terms of lightweight operating systemsand lightweight is concerned. A version of Windows 10 but with less weight designed for less powerful computers.

A lightness that would entail considerations such as the impossibility of updating to a standard version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro as well as the be limited to running apps exclusively downloaded from the Microsoft Store.

You couldn't even use win32 apps that have been published in the Windows Store since Core OS will drop support for win32 apps. A scenario in which Progressive Web Apps (PWA) take on tremendous importance for a system that we now know could present a new look.

Windows Lite would run a user interface called Webshell that would give it a different look than versions of Windows 10 that even now we have met. And this change would be due, according to Windows Central, to the elimination of some elements such as Live Tiles. It is one of the star specifications of Windows or so Microsoft intended, which however has seen how both users and developers get very little out of it. So it better go to the background.

This is what Zac Bowden says after accessing internal Microsoft documents suggesting changes to the start menu with rarely used Live Tiles And the fact is that users continue interacting more with the taskbar instead of animated tiles when launching applications.

Windows Lite would be the first version of Windows since Windows 10 hit the market for desktops and laptops that would do without Live TilesAnd who knows if it could be the anticipation of a possible disappearance in subsequent versions of Windows 10 that will hit the market. Something that according to Bowden gains strength if we think about how it is a function that has not received any update for a long time.

We don't know if the Live Tiles will finally pass away. Remember that Windows Lite would be based on Windows Core OS, the next evolution of Windows and would use the Polaris interface, which would make it much lighter.And for this, it is clear, sacrifices must be made and functions eliminated.
