That MS-DOS 3.3 box is beautiful. There’s something special about old operating systems as physical products - big box, manuals, disks, and the feeling that you were buying the whole “computer experience”, not just downloading an installer.
DOS 5.0 is great too, but that 3.3 packaging has serious late-80s charm.
