Windows Neptune build 5000 is an unconfirmed build of the Neptune project, which has been a source of controversy in the past due to fake screenshots that were originally posted to BetaArchive in 2008. It is possible that the build had existed, as the upgrade setup (WINNT32A.DLL, WINNT32U.DLL) in build 5111 contains a dialog window with placeholder text stating "Files for Neptune build 5XXX are now available." This suggests that the Neptune project skipped directly to build number 5000 as opposed to a lower number and then eventually reaching this build number.
Fake screenshots[edit | edit source]
Fake screenshots of the build were posted by BetaArchive member A.Nonymous on 11 October 2008.[1] Compared to build 5111, these screenshots show a different login banner that features a Windows logo similar to the one used by Windows 2000 Professional, although the frame containing the flag logo is green rather than the usual orange.
