Windows 8 Start Screen
The Windows 8 Start screen displays a list of default and custom Live Tiles, which act
as a shortcut to Mail, Windows Explorer, Weather app, Calendar, Windows Store,
Internet Explorer, and other installed apps.
Live Tiles on your Start screen change and update in real time to show news and
sports updates, weather updates, social-networking feeds, and so on.
The tile-based user interface gives you direct access to your most recently used apps,
emails, photos, music, videos, contacts, updates from social-networking sites, and
frequently viewed websites. You can pin your favorite apps as tiles to customize the
Start screen.
