Unless, of course, you pin your most used applications to the taskbar or create a shortcut on the desktop. Honestly, it is pretty easy to avoid the metro screen if you really want to. In any given day, I may see the metro screen 2-3 times the entire day, on average, all because I setup my machine to work the way it is most productive for me.
