I remember having no problems surfing the net on my amiga with a graphical interface. Also dont forget MS didnt create IE they bought it like about 90% of the applications integrated in windows. The only reason they intergarated it into the OS was to block the competition. I believe that the death of other computer systems like the Amiga, Atari ST ect was the worst thing to ever happen to home computing in general. The amiga os was years ahead of windows at the time.
