Is there a way to turn of the tiles and go back to the windows 7 style interface entirely

Question

Is there a way to turn of the tiles and go back to the windows 7 style interface entirely. This new interface to me is just like having crap all over my desk. It makes me feel dirty and disorganzied. I have seen one of the tiles takes you to windows 7 style shell, but is there a way so that is like that all the time

You might try the following link for getting back the old Start menu (it's basically a one value change in the registry). However, this build was created is to develop application in the tile interface, not to be used normally.
