You aren't making sense to me. The typical homeowner doesn't upgrade?

The majority of them never change their computer much from as it was

Most will get a new OS with their new computer, whenever that is.

Also did you mean "home user" when you said "homeowner"

XP Home, but plenty Memory. 512 avoids many problems.
