When Windows 7 was released, everyone jumped to the new OS in the holiday season. May be because Windows Vista was a disaster, but Windows 7 was quite good and I think Windows 8 doesn't have much to offer to prompt "desktop" users who don't have touch screens to upgrade from Windows 7.
Don't get me wrong. I have Windows 8 and I know the new OS is amazing even for the traditional desktop users but if you are not much into expensive touch screens and Windows Store's apps then there is no real reason to upgrade.
Have you upgraded? If no then what's your reason?
