If I'm on the start screen and want to get back to the desktop, I hit windows+D. It's become second nature and I've found typing in the name of the program to find it is easier and faster than navigating a hierarchical list of items. But again, how you work may differ from how I work.

Do you realize how funny that is, how "retro", not metro? You now have to type the name of the application you want ? Wow, that's progress vs. just clicking an icon or finding it in a logical menu structure.
