The other option is to learn how to deal with the Start Screen. I never understood why people hate it so deeply that they reject Windows 8.x altogether. For starters, Windows 8.x has improvements that most people can benefit from. As for the Start Screen, you can simply treat it as a program launcher if all of your software runs on the classic desktop (and if you hate Metro, you're probably going to stick to classic desktop software anyhow). Just launch your program and you're done with it. Heck, just pin your programs to the taskbar and you'll rarely even see the Start Screen.
