To be fair, the first web surfing was done on a Sun Workstation. :-)

But people need to remember that Microsoft only eventually added a TCP/IP stack (the component that allows a PC to connect directly to the Internet) to Windows after they realized they could create their own proprietary Internet with MSN. In other words, Microsoft didn't lead the way to the Internet. It was dragged there kicking and screaming and if they had their way, Windows users would all be trapped using a proprietary MSN.

Actually, Tim Berners-Lee (spelling?) was using a NEXT box, but your point is still correct.
I should have said "earlier" in that case, rather than "first".

In any case, Mac was doing both ends before Windows even moved out of the 16-bit world.
