    I would object to placing tiles in the explorer and similar situations. On the desktop, that's fine. I would actually love to have the option of including live tiles on my desktop, but they would not be intuitive to use in a keyboard+mouse oriented file explorer.

    I think they would help for revealing the contents of this folder, and they could cycle through so it's not a static preview

    I would not be opposed to replacing icons (for folders, applications, etc) with Live Tiles. To be able to have your Outlook desktop icon show you that you have a new email or your hardware monitoring program show an updating temperature of your CPU and current fan speed as a % would be insanely useful.

    Like Rainmeter, but more power efficient and integrated straight into the OS. I'm not sure why it's not already in Windows 8 already!
