Windows 9x did as well. It was a cheap way for my brother to be able to go online without extra hardware like network cards: I'd dial up the ISP from my computer, and he'd open up a parallel-to-parallel connection. I had Proxomitron running (ah, the good old days of HTTP proxy as an ad blocker) and on his browser he'd set that up as the proxy server and be able to go online.
