I was going to say that was a gross over-generalization, but that didn't
adequately express how gross it was. It's just plain wrong. Pardon my
bluntness.

How about: Windows is often used in the workplace, where users may not
have the freedom or motivation to make their own changes and be
different from other users, while Macs are often used by individuals who
do. That's an over-generalization too, but not quite at the level of
"Windows users refuse changes."

That too. Good point.
