Major user experience changes were planned to ship with Neptune, including the [[Activity Centers]] - a new task-based user interface that featured individual "pages" focusing on daily tasks with facilities that include (but are not limited to) browsing the Internet, communication, document management and entertainment. User management was also improved in Neptune with the introduction of several new user types as well as a dedicated full-screen user interface. The new interfaces were primarily implemented using [[Internet Explorer]]'s web technology, often using the then-new [[Mars|Mars framework]]. A key focus of the Neptune project was to experiment with user experiences that did not require manually saving previous work; some of this effort is visible in the only available build, which enables hibernation by default and requires the user to take extra steps to fully shut down the device.

A new [[Help and Support]] system was additionally introduced as part of Neptune, providing a consumer-oriented centralized hub that offers documentation for most Windows features as well as dedicated troubleshooters for common issues like system crashes.
