well, that's not just the easiest answer in the world. the internet didn't just become what is currently is all at one. some aspects of it have existed since way before you might believe. lemme start ya off with a little timeline action:

http://www.zakon.org/robert/internet/timeline/

arpanet, the internet's predecessor that was operated by the department of defense.

the internet started changing and molding in the form of RFC's (request for comment) which other engineers would expand on or code for, or whatever it is that those codejockeys do when the lights go out. the very first RFC was given that distinction on 7 April 1969. this, conceptually, is the very beginng of the IDEA of the internet.

the very first .com was registered in 1985 and is still in use today.

windows came onto the scene in 1980, here's a very big timeline: http://www.levenez.com/windows/history.html#06
and according to microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/WinHistoryIntro.mspx

intel was a key player for desktops, and look, they have a timeline too! (there's a trend here)
