Lamer than the waiting room at the wheelchair repair shop.
Lamer than that house-saving pig.

Firt, you're overestimating the change. It will not be rapid, as touch screen is cumbersome, large monitors are as well, and there are other OS which can handily use the older monitors, like Linux and its many branches. I just bought two monitors to comply with Win8, and the two replaced will be attached to my DOS machines. Or, to my Win98 or other XP machines. I have to keep all those machines, as later changes in the OS or architecture, means that some vital programs on the older machine, can't 'upgrade'. So the machine remains quite useful. So it still needs a monitor, and flat panel monitors are essentially still VGA/SVGA. Only my old 286 with monocrome card, still needs a dedicated cRT, since I won't upgrade the card.
We have ditched Microsoft all together.
We have gone Linux flavor ZORIN, "http://zorin-os.com/premium.html" and have been very surprised, the interface looks and acts like WIN7.
The whole package including all 4 suite together on 1 DVD along with shipping NZ$50.00 this includes a whole range of application software including an Office suite.
To go MS WIN8 and Office 2010 F/P cost NZ$850.00 per seat and ZORIN NZ$50.00 work that out a saving of $700.00 per seat oner 115 seats on great saving on out balance sheet.

on any number of systems. Thus your charge is really NZ$50.00 for 115 seats or less than NZ$0.50 per seat.
The base cost per seat compared to MS.
And as you have said its all on one disk.
Sorry MS but Im loving Zorin.

How many PC's (in numbers) are represented by the percentages?
In my opinion, 24.6% of responders willing to upgrade in the US is quite significant.
After all, when a new car (or any new merchandise) is advertised how many people will upgrade in the first year?

GM, Ford, or whoever has released a new model either. The most compelling reason for everyone to upgrade ended more than a decade ago. For the most part, the stuff works. If the new version enhanced the bottom line, that would be the reason to invest in the upgrade. If my workers become more productive with a tablet, that's a reason to invest. So far, I'm not seeing the advantage for more than 25 percent of businesses and government agencies to do so.
"74% of organizations have no plans to deploy Windows 8"
Lies, damned lies, and statistics. Using statistics to misrepresent the facts exposes this as another anti-Microsoft propaganda article from Tech Republic.
The 74% figure refers to "current plans" in contrast to long-term strategy. Adoption of new versions of Windows is always slow. Windows 7 has only just overtaken Windows XP as the most popular OS, after a decade and despite Win 7 being the fastest-selling OS of all time!
A PC is built to last. A PC purchased five to ten years ago is still as useful today as it was then. There is no pressing need to upgrade.

force upgrades down people's throats so MS can make more money
The how important were the following factors in your organisations decision not to deploy Windows 8, some of the reasons are just bs
dual screen support is exactly the same as Windows 7, wtf?
If a test demo was done, the users would like it, especially the noobs, who like glossy new things
Its only good for tablets and handhelds?
Just a bunch of people that have barely touched the new OS from the sounds of things

for essential software they run
Win 7 and Win 8 - have no big difference for the user. From the financial side it will costs enormous to update licenses on all apps for Win 8. For the enterprises is better to update OS once in a ten year when technology goes directly ahead.
the problems for them.
