Hi.
Is there anyway making the tiles size somewhat smaller? So that I can have it into many groups without taking so much space on the screen.
Thanks in advance.

That is too bad (to me at least). I just come to an idea, it's OK for the gadgets remain sized as it is, that's what the gadget for. But for the shortcut better be given an option for sizing down. It will be interesting to have groups of tiles (shortcuts). It has meet all esthetic and functional values I think.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview x64
I'd wait for the Consumer Preview. The zoom out feature will be used to organize tiles in a glance. There MAY be potential that Microsoft allows custom DPI for Start Tiles. As of now, you can't, but there goes to say you can use some geometric skill and fit a bunch of tiles in one screen!
