Think again on corporate. Most companies kept Windows XP until Windows 7. Heck, we are just now going to Windows 7. Companies were on Office 2003 for years and we just now upgraded to Office 2010. Companies use enterprise licenses, so if those went away companies would stick with the old. At least mine would.
that is not entirely true. Microsoft Volume Licensing will probably never go away. Most big companies have Software Assurance through MS. They will upgrade as often as they see a reason to do so, without question. If there is a reason for big corporates to move to 2013, they will do it. It's part of the Software Assurance contract with MS.
Microsoft Volume Licensing - Microsoft Software Assurance
Also be aware that a lot of companies have this available,,, Microsoft Volume Licensing - Microsoft Software Assurance Benefits - Home Use Program
