Yes thats right your wishes have been granted the start button is coming back in windows 8 in version 8.2. this might even tempt me to upgrade sense it's considered better for gaming in general with directx 11.2.

This is a rumor.

Better to save your enthusiasm for when it's closer to confirmation.

 

Compare the enthusiastic article you've linked to its source:

Update: Here are a couple of related tidbits, courtesy of sources of Windows SuperSite's Paul Thurrott. Thurrott said he's hearing the revised Desktop will allow users to run multiple Metro appson the Desktop. That'd mean windows comes back to Windows. Plus, he's hearing the Start Menu might return, too, supplementing the currently Start-Menuless Start Button -- another plus for those struggling with the current Windows 8.x navigation scheme.

I got excited for the return of the start button in 8.1 and it turned out to be only a copy of the button from the side thing with no start menu. I'm not going to hold me breath for this, Microsoft have completely lost the plot and I've seen nothing of late to suggest they've found it again.
