What is the name of the Windows System Menu button?

I am talking about the round glass-orb looking object (on a Windows 7 operating system) that appears in the lower left of the screen -- usually -- that you can click on to see the menu selection of programs on your compter.

From what I've read, everyone still seems to refer to it as the Start button and Start menu.
