I've installed Stardock's Start8 and ModernMix, which allow me to ignore the "Modern" part completely. At that point, it's quite usable.
I've looked at the websites for both of those. It looks like you get a Start button, and the ability to run Metro apps in windows instead of full-screen, but it doesn't appear that it lets you boot to the desktop.
I have lots of users here who regularly multi-task: They have a POP email client, web browser, Word, Excel and, sometimes, a database, accounting, billing or payroll program all open at the same time. I can see that ModernMix would make this easier if we have to "upgrade" software to a Metro-style app in the future. There's no way this could work if everything has to run full-screen.
