I think in Zuck’s mind the analogy is Bill Gates pivoting Microsoft to GUIs in 1983. Which seemed pretty crazy at the time when PCs ran at 4 megahertz and could barely fill a 320*200 screen with four ugly colors. But Gates had seen Xerox Star and Smalltalk and Lisa prototypes.

VR’s “Mac moment” may be happening this year with Apple’s hardware unveiling. I suppose Zuck hopes to ship his mass-market “Windows 3.0” soon after. I’m very curious to find out what consumers think of the Apple product.
