"The web browser."

But they *were* first to make the "proper*" web browser free - or did you miss the sticker price on Netscape Navigator?

I can make a very good case that MS shaped the development of how the web should look and feel.

But no-one needs all those knee-jerk downvotes, so I'll sit on my fingers.

* there were many ways the cognoscenti could browse the web for free in them days, of course, but doing so was a pain and involved giving up what most people would expect in terms of ease of use and functionality.
