I think having AV on by default is HUGE. Not for sophisticated users, but for the general public, that is great.
As for the other security updates, given that I have lots of information from many different clients on my computer and network, this is quite important to me and is a compelling reason to upgrade from 7 to 8.

This by itself convinced me that I'll upgrade to Windows 8 soon, I use a 3rd party app to do that kind of thing now and it's not that great.

From a work point of view this is awesome, another compelling reason to upgrade.
Given even just those things, Windows 8 has moved from "When I have to" to "When I can" priority for my main computer.
