I think most consumers don't do much due diligence when upgrading/moving, they just go with what's new when they buy a PC. If where they're at is really bad, they might bother to upgrade.
Windows 7 had the advantage of coming after Vista. Vista sucked. People knew it sucked. Apple made funny commercials making fun of it (the MIB security dude). People wanted to leave it.
Windows 8 may or may not be good, but Windows 7 is good and a lot of people must be disinterested simply because they're fine at Windows 7.
