Nope, because one would install the MSDN documentation locally from the bundled CDs and use Windows help infrastructure.

The Web version came much later.

Which means that currently it requires an internet connection and opens a page in your browser.

Have you actually tried that? I just installed it and it's just a buch of help files that link to the web. F1 continues to work the same way, bringing up websites, often useless ones like this one for a for loop:

Have you installed the Help Viewer and configured as advised?

I got it working now, but it's still often giving nonsensical answers for simple queries like a for loop.
