There's nothing to indicate it has anything to do with Microsoft's confidence in the OS.
Upgrade installs have always been an incredibly small minority of total OS installs for Windows, MS is looking at getting more people to upgrade to Win8 than usually upgrade their OS, as well as responding to Apple's upgrade pricing.
