Minimize the metro and you've the full fledged windows OS. Why does metro bother you?
I have loved metro with the touch laptops.
Metro seems like it would be awkward to somebody who uses 40 programs rather than 8 "apps". A hierarchical menu seems better for people who do more that launch a browser or play a game.
Put metro into all apps view by default. Then you can have your 10000 icons when you hit the start menu. Clustered into various groups.
Whee. Like a start menu, only better.
