The project was worked on throughout 1999 before being ultimately scrapped in January 2000, as the Neptune team merged with another team focused on the [[Windows Odyssey|''Odyssey'' project]], a business-oriented successor of [[Windows 2000]]. The merging of both teams resulted in the formation of a new project codenamed ''Whistler'', which ultimately evolved into [[Windows XP]]. Many of the project objectives later inspired and/or laid the groundwork for a number of new features in the versions that followed, with Windows XP introducing an evolved form of Neptune's new [[Start menu]] design as well parts of the task-based user interface. | The project was worked on throughout 1999 before being ultimately scrapped in January 2000, as the Neptune team merged with another team focused on the [[Windows Odyssey|''Odyssey'' project]], a business-oriented successor of [[Windows 2000]].

The touch- | The touch-oriented Metro design language introduced as part of [[Windows 8]] also shared many common goals with the Neptune project, including the Activity Centers' focus on typography as well as dedicated full-screen applications for common tasks. Windows 8 also introduced hybrid boot, a functionality that takes advantage of hibernation to capture the initial states of necessary system applications and boot drivers, largely similar in principle to the Boot Accelerator feature that would have been included as part of Neptune. | ||
