OpenNT (2020-Present)

OpenNT (Not to be confused with the real life project of the same name) is an open source project using released Windows NT source code, taking place in xtracore's "Crescent" universe.
== History ==
After the failure of Crescent, Microsoft Corporation declared bankruptcy on May 28, 2011, and went out of business, and their assets were acquired by Nintendo of America.
On April 8th, 2017, everyone was surprised when Nintendo of America released the source code to every version of Windows from NT 4.0 all the way until the last NT based version (Vista). However, the source code release was mainly ignored once the excitement wore off, until 2020, when a group of developers decided to revive the old NT kernel based Windows into an open source system, OpenNT (not to be confused with the real world project of the name name using leaked "illegal" Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 code.).
The first public alpha was released on March 7th, 2020, at this point OpenNT was basically a rebranded Windows NT 4.0 with the IE Shell and some PLUS! enhancements enabled by default, although the about box from Windows 2000 was ported over, and the version number was bumped to 6.1 (a "minor" version above Vista's 6.0)
OpenNT Alpha 2 (AKA Milestone 2), released on April 11th, 2020. At this point, most of the features of Windows 2000 were ported over to the NT 4.0 codebase OpenNT is based off of, and compatibility was at 2000's level as of a result.
