Microsoft Network was the first online service my family subscribed to in fall 1995. I recall our problem being that you had to dial in to different phone numbers for the walled garden and for the web. And we only had local phone numbers for the walled garden. So while the UI was pretty sweet, there wasn't much there and I recall being angry that I couldn't use Internet Explorer and access espnet.sportszone.com without dialing long distance. When we switched to AOL in 96 they had far more stuff and it was easier to get on the web.
