An enterprise-oriented operating system released by Microsoft in 2000, built on the NT kernel and targeted primarily at business users. It is noted for its stability and security characteristics.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Microsoft had been using the NT kernel in the enterprise market since Windows NT 3.1 (1993); Windows 2000 was the first NT-based product targeting enterprise desktops, and Windows XP was the first to bring the NT kernel to ordinary home users.
The NT kernel is a fully 32-bit architecture designed from scratch by Microsoft, featuring memory protection, multi-user privilege isolation, and a stronger hardware abstraction layer, initially serving primarily the enterprise market.
The Neptune project was ultimately cancelled, and its team was merged into the development team for the successor to Windows 2000, codenamed Odyssey.
