"Until I can completely hide the new UI, I'm still recommending Win7
to the people who ask me, so it would be nice to address these last
few items."

As far as I know, there's no way to do that, so Char can't "completely
hide the new UI." As I said earlier, I think that what Char wants is a
minor point, and not worth worrying about, but he disagrees and has a
right to that opinion.

1. 8.1 lets you do that.
2. For 8, see http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.103

Or do this.

Open Task Scheduler and create a new task.
In "General", name it Show Desktop at Boot, and Configure for Windows 8.
Click the Trigger tab and then New.
Begin the task "on log on"
Click "OK"
Click the Actions tab
Program/script: c:\windows\explorer.exe
Click "OK" as many times as needed to finish.
Restart to test.
