23. Is there just the one tile screen? I'd be way happier having several tile screens

you could swipe to > or click to. Thus allowing categorizing what tiles are on what screens.

Having a screen full of large, ugly boxes with a multitude of functions/subjects/apps is simply a huge turn-off for me.

Can you change the size of the tiles/boxes on the screen and minimize them.

The reason iTouch doesn't bother me is the boxes are relatively smaller and I can organize them amongst several screens.

The Tile Screen looks to me like a game board with all those huge multi-colored boxes.

So you're telling me not to utilize my "free" windows 8 upgrade. ileus Dec 2012 #1
