Well if you follow this logic then you can say with great confidence,
"while, MOST of all PC users
are perfectly happy to be using "the same thing everyone else uses" - then
you can easily deduct that "ALL 100% of Apple users are perfectly happy
using the same thing that all the other Apple users do"
This is same logic would conclude that, "Jeez, All VW car owners only buy
car parts that fit a VW...just like every other VW owner"

I doubt that. But following the simple rules of statistics, there would be
ample reason to assume that if he knows a large enough number of PC users,
the same ratio would translate to all of them, i.e., most of all PC users
are perfectly happy to be using "the same thing everyone else uses".
Which they are, not only in Chris' experience.
