According to a recent survey conducted by InformationWeek in October.They surveyed  973 tech professionals.With more than half of the people(52%) said that their organizations already have definite plans to upgrade to Windows 8.While 10% of them said that the upgrade will be made as and when required.24 % of them said that 100% of their organizations computers will run the new OS, while 34% said at least three-quarters of their desktops and laptops will have Windows 8 running on them.

One of the main reasons behind the Windows 8 upgrade is that Microsoft will end the Windows XP support in 2014  as 36% of the survey takers stated this very reason for the Windows 8 upgrade.
 
Windows 8 operating system is expected to be released in the Q3 2012 with vast improvements in the software front like the new and improved task manager and the optimized landscape and portrait modes for better viewing,Hyper V for virtualization or be it hardware acceleration or the reduced run time memory usage and the highly secured boot technology which will make hacking into the system a tough task.
