There was always a Start button in Win8.0, which was demonstrated during the initial welcome screens. Hold your mouse in the upper-right corner to open the Charms menu, then click the start button there. (Edited for clarity)

Now I can't remember if the lower-left-corner-hover was present in Win8.0. I know there was always the button in the system menu (right edge swipe).

(I'm pretty sure the link you provide has been updated for Win8.1)

Here's a better link from late 2012 http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57534694-285/how-to-retu... Seems it was always there.
