Another key point of the Neptune project was to experiment with new experiences that didn't require the user to manually save their work. Some of this effort is visible in the available build, which enables hibernation by default and requires the user to take extra steps to fully shut down the computer. Fast Startup, a feature that captures the system state immediately after a normal boot and then restores it on further boots, was also introduced. | Another key point of the Neptune project was to experiment with new experiences that didn't require the user to manually save their work.

The Neptune team merged with another team developing [[Windows Odyssey|Odyssey]], a business-oriented successor of [[Windows 2000]], to work on what would later become [[Windows XP]]. However, many of the project objectives did end up inspiring some of the new features of the versions that followed, with Windows XP introducing an evolved form of Neptune's new [[Start menu]] design as well as certain bits of the task-based interface. The Metro interface introduced with [[Windows 8]] also shared many common goals with the Neptune project, including the Activity Centers' focus on typography. Windows 8 also introduced Hybrid Boot, which is very similar in principle to Neptune's Fast Startup ability. | ||
