Windows Odyssey: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:30, 1 August 2011

Windows Odyssey was planned as new business version of Windows NT but never came of the drawing board, the kernel version is unknown, some say NT 6.0, others say NT 5.5 but was soon canceled.
The team working on Odyssey was merged with Neptune which lead to the creation of Codename Whistler which the final name is Windows XP which includes Professional and Home Edition as main editions, there are several different other SKUs.
One Alpha build of Neptune was released to the public (# 5111) but since no proof of Odyssey leaving the drawing boards exists, we cannot be sure if any Odyssey builds existed.

Odyssey is not mentioned in the Microsoft vs. Comes documents, rather than another planned os dubbed Windows Triton. It suggests that Odyssey may not have beeen real at all.
