I really can't be bothered with windows 8 yet, I used xp for quite a few years, and I have only just got used to windows 7. To be honest the vast majority of people don't have time to mess about paying for/upgrading to new software. Also, if its not broken don't fix it!! Well, as long as the majority are not forced to upgrade soon. People have enough expenses to worry about, including out of date hardware.
