Anyone using windows neptune? What is this one all about?
-
You mean Windows Whistler, right? Haven\'t tried it yet, but it seems to add some pretty cool features.

well im sure you mean whistler which i have used and its going to most likely be win2001 it its the first OS after the 9x kernal is dead it comes in 4 main flavors, personal, pro, server, and adv. server its like a better win2k but its still beta infact its not far past beta1 last i checked its susposed to come out fall of 2001 knowing MS this could turn into win2002. some new things are a new start menu and a scrolling systray sofar gameing isint too bad i had some problems with personal so i switched to pro and im sure that personal will have the better gameing once the OS is finshed this OS also comes IA64 enabled. i dont know yet but from what i hear theres no SMP support in personal but their will be in pro it is likely also that a copy of windows like personal will be used on the x-box for personal is a streemlined verson of the win2k kernal it seems to have alot of the settings your used to in win2k tho but not as many services and other background apps

There was a Windows Neptune at one time. I have a beta of Neptune and it is not Whistler. I enjoy Neptune and how it looks. Now - to clear things up. - Neptune was replaced by Whistler in mid development. Now all there is is Whistler.
