The other option is to just deal with the start screen. It is possible to remove all of the tiles for the Windows 8 specific stuff and leave behind tiles for the desktop applications. It is a bit disruptive since you have to switch to the start screen to launch programs, but you'd probably want to do that on a touch device anyhow (since small targets can be hard to hit).

On a big desktop monitor, a "Start" menu would be nice. On a 10" tablet like the Surface Pro, the "Metro" tile touchscreen works extremely well - a "standard" menu is a bit small to comfortably use with your fingers (although it works very well with the stylus).
