whoops new hobby is generating screenshots of software that never existed to feel nostalgic for. (prompt in alt text)

Screenshot of a vintage Windows XP WYSIWYG web design application. The classic Windows XP interface showcases a menu bar on top with options like “File”, “Edit”, and “View”. A vertical toolbar on the left is packed with design and coding tools. The central part of the screen is split, with HTML code in the left panel and a visual representation of the website on the right. Within the visual mockup, the navigation header is in focus and its corresponding code is highlighted in the text editor. A floating toolbar is attached to the navigation header, offering tools to tweak its design. An inspector panel is present on the right side.

A packed toolbar with design and coding icons sits on the left. The main area is split in two: the left half shows HTML code with highlighted lines corresponding to the navigation header, and the right half reveals a mockup of a web page that prominently displays the navigation header. A floating mini-toolbar is tethered to the navigation header for design modifications. A detailed inspector panel is stationed on the right side.
Image of a retro Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger UI prototyping tool. The interface exudes the 2000s aesthetic with Aqua widgets. The top menu bar lists options including “File”, “Edit”, and “View”. Below, a streamlined toolbar with essential design tools. The canvas, set against a white backdrop, displays a website design project reminiscent of the 2000s. Features like buttons and navigation are being arranged. On the right, an inspector panel provides design details.

The toolbar beneath offers a set of clean, basic design tools. The central canvas, with a pure white background, presents a website design that harks back to the 2000s. Elements like banners, buttons, and menus are being adjusted. A sidebar on the right serves as an inspector panel.

you have no idea how bad I would've begged my mom for this if I saw it in Best Buy.

Render of a 2000s software retail box labeled 'Web Designer Extreme'. The box features graphic designs representative of the era, with a sale price sticker placed in one corner. The backdrop is a shelf at a CompUSA store with multiple copies of the software lined up.

Render of a physical software retail box from the 2000s labeled “AppKit”. The design of the box is a testament to the graphic trends of the time, with a mix of gradients and sharp edges. A badge provides a snapshot of the software's capabilities, and a sale price sticker is affixed to the corner. The setting is an original Apple Store, with the “AppKit” boxes displayed on a signature black software shelf.

@czeins all software packaging legally had to include the text "2000s Retail Software Box War” to show its support for the ongoing software wars, otherwise it would get drafted.
