message: This section makes no sense. Build 3000 (much lower than 5111) is the last in the 9x line and came after 5111. Josh 01:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm posting from my Neptune virtual PC (Which i had to go to quite some lengths to get), and i noticed it had a IE Version i haven't seen before: I.E Version 5.5 . Is this worth mentioning in the article? Maiq the liar (talk) 11:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have proposed merging this to Development of Windows XP.  In several years, nothing has ever shown this was ever just mockup code for early R&D.  (Because I was there, and that's what it was.)  It is incorrect to call this a "canceled release" because it was never intended for release.  Once Windows 2000 was out the door, this early dev work was wrapped up into Whistler and that was that.  This is typical development practice and any notable information belongs in a development article, not standalone. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
: Neptune 5.50.5111, was compiled after Windows 2000 was already released, so what you're claiming, can hardly be true. Also, if you care to join: http://www.betaarchive.co.uk/forum , you'll be able to find more ifnormation about it there. And yes, it was intended for release, as the successor to Windows 2000, I can easily give you the MSN addresses of a few contacts of mine, who were Microsoft Beta-Testers at the time, and tested both Neptune, as well, as its successor, Odyssey. ;)  - 194.165.96.5 (talk) 16:06, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I think this could be uploaded as fair use, because there's commentary about it Thurrott's article, which we could add here, i.e. that the login screen looks simlar to that addopted by Windows XP. Pcap ping 11:52, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
