From his (also amusing) essay "In the Beginning was the Command Line", while discussing GUIs as mediated experiences, during a Disney World analogy...
"Disney does mediated experiences better than anyone. If they understood what OSes are, and why people use them, they could crush Microsoft in a year or two."
