Windows Neptune, called Microsoft Neptune in build 5111, was planned to become the successor of the Windows 2000 family as well as the first consumer version of Windows under the NT code. It was under development in 1999, until it was canceled, along with Odyssey, to give way for Whistler, which would be named Windows XP. XP included the new login screen and user accounts panel originally envisioned for Neptune. However, Activity Centers were eventually dropped.
