Unfortunately people always haul this quote out as proof that because they're being ignored and ridiculed, they must be onto something and about to "win". It's supposed to be an inspirational quote to keep you motivated when it feels like the whole world is against you, but whenever I see it used (on online forums at least) it's always by someone who seems to think that it not only has predictive power, but it somehow illustrates the inevitability of the total dominance of desktop Linux (or whatever they're insisting is inevitable). I've seen that quote so preposterously misused over the last 20 years, over and over and over again as a form of argumentation, that I fear it's lost all meaning at this point. :(
