You seem to be missing the increasing amount of aging netbooks, laptops 
and tablets.

Also you seem to be ignoring the fact of Windows XP being about to be 
discontinued, for which at least some users will be looking for a 
substitute OS, when they realize Win 8's HW requirements are too 
demanding for their HW or when they realize Win 8 doesn't meet their 
personal needs.

Some of them certainly will consider switching to Linux, but will it be 
Fedora? Provided this discussion, my guess is no.
