He didn't predict the Internet as we know it today. His book "The Road Ahead" didn't mention it as being important. He thought that 'The Information Superhighway' made of proprietary communication entities like 'AOL' would be the norm and he believed that MSFT's 'MSN' would be the one that would succeed.
When Windows 95 was released in August 1995, there was no internet browser or TCP/IP stack included. That was a later 'add-on' which came on a CDROM that was mainly advertised for its other 'goodies'.
To give Microsoft its due, it came to the Internet party late, but caught up in less than six months.
