From some of what one reads it seems some people are looking for an antidote to the Windows 8 Start screen & its Tiles and ways to avoid Store APPs.
Appears they are looking for silver bullets to slay the dragon. Fear not good Folks... it can all be not the bane of your existence through one simple word...

Windows 8 can be used quite nicely w/out using the Start screen at all or Store APPs, for that matter. Merely hit the Desktop Tile upon Boot-up & never look back & let Start & its Tiles irritate you nevermore.
