The confidential documents used against Microsoft in the Comes vs. Microsoft case provide information that Microsoft codename Triton was NOT a service pack for the unreleased Windows Neptune, but it's successor. The documents show the planned service packs for Triton and shows the planning of what it will run on. They also state that the release of Triton will be in Q4 of 2001 (though Neptune was never released, the NT names Neptune, Odyssey, and Triton were scrapped.) The document also states on page 67 that the RTM for Triton was planned in March 2001. Service Pack 1 was planned for May 2001, and Service Pack 2 was planned for September 2001. Service Pack 3 was also dated for January 2002 and Service Pack 4 for July 2002. Microsoft was planning for a x64 bit version of Neptune, as well as Triton. In the Windows Desktop Product Roadmap on page 26, it describes Triton as a minor release to NepTune userbase; continue refining products based on PC capability.
It is unknown wheter any builds of Triton were ever compiled, though it was probably canceled during planning stages.
