Microsoft Neptune

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

Neptune was planned to be the first version of Windows NT for home use until the project was merged with the Odyssey (planned professional release) project to form Whistler (Windows XP).

Screen (December 10, 1999)

Visuals: Essentially the same as the 2nd Windows 2000 screen, but instead of the Windows 2000 logo is the left trails of the Windows flag with a rainbow gradient effect. To the right of it is "Microsoft Neptune" arranged like before, and below it is "under construction", all in gray.

Variant: When Fast boot is enabled, the progress bar will be green (much like in Windows XP Home Edition) instead of the usual blue. Additionally, the blue animation bar does not move.

Technique: Real-time computer graphics.

Audio: None.

Availability: This version was never released, although it can be seen on build 5111.1, the only Neptune build available.
