I bet most of those are computers of large international to smaller businesses that need to upgrade for contractual reasons.

I'm not so sure of that, particularly with the larger businesses. As far as I know, Microsoft will continue supporting some large enterprise users on the older OSes for a lot longer than it will support retail users. The bread and butter for MS there is getting the monthly support fees, not the initial licensing fees.

Damn straight. Microsoft is STILL supporting businesses running Windows XP with customized security updates... if you have enough money. It ain't cheap.
