The project was worked on through most of the year 1999, until it was ultimately scrapped in January 2000. 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. | The project was worked on through most of the year 1999, until it was ultimately scrapped in January 2000.
