One thing I couldn’t pinpoint, until recently, was the little bit of excitement that I felt as kid for the iterative box art of Windows releases.

3.1 was a white box. 95 was sky and clouds. 98 was more cloudy clouds. NT 4.0 was sky turning into space.

You can imagine my disappointment when ME and 2k were just white boxes.

Very tangential, but I had the same kind of intrigue for Maxis games where SIM was stylized as a colour and the game name with its own font.
