I (personally) removed the tile in the areas that were going to get porcelain tile. It came up so easily that many of the tiles came up 100% intact. I tiled right over the adhesive.

I was thinking of putting underlay and carpet on top of the concrete but painting the concrete first with some kind of basement/waterproof paint. That is the first project in the small downstairs bedroom. However I want to have the concrete spotless before I paint the floor. I can see why many of u profs. and non profs. recommend entombing the tiles as it is the easy route to go.
Here the regs. in Alberta states that you must disclose when selling the house that you have asbestos in the house eg. floor tiles even though there is low risk until the floor tiles are sanded or disturbed(sanding won't happen with me).
