OR they don't "want" anything, they're just not ready for any of this 
and would prefer to simply relaunch their old version and get back to work.

That's what the 3rd case in Dan's proposal covers. I think "do nothing" 
is a very valid choice, especially for a busy user. I can't tell you how 
many time I clicked "Not now" in upgrade dialogs in countless 
applications...
