From the Mozilla Developer Network CSS docs for font-weight:


"If the exact weight given is unavailable, then 600-900 use the closest available darker weight (or, if there is none, the closest available lighter weight), and 100-500 use the closest available lighter weight (or, if there is none, the closest available darker weight). This means that for fonts that provide only normal and bold, 100-500 are normal, and 600-900 are bold."


You don't see a lighter weight on Windows because there isn't one for Arial, so it falls back on a normal weight instead.
