Um, yes. When I wanted to find the Settings menu on my new iPhone, it wasn't too much of a leap of faith to try pressing the icon labeled "Settings."
The idea that you have to left-click and drag a certain unmarked area of the screen in Metro to reach the control panel is light-years distant from the iPhone/iPad UX.
A good interface is one that is either highly intuitive, or highly discoverable. I haven't used Windows 8 yet, but from what I'm reading in this thread and elsewhere, it is neither. Don't shoot the messenger.
