Not on 8.1 Preview at least, right now it's only possible to remove it via API calls.
[CODE]#include <windows.h>
int main( int, char *[] ) {
PostMessage(FindWindowEx(FindWindow(("Shell_TrayWnd"), NULL), NULL, ("Start"), NULL),WM_CLOSE,0,0);
}[/CODE]
This is a incomplete code though, it will not give you back the space the button has taken up, if someone knows how then feel free to share, until then
Start Killer will give you the space back and in combination with the above code compiled, it removes the StartButton.
