I had copy of NeptuneOS from a questionable download source. I installed it on my barebone pc. To my excuse, young me was desperate to have something else then Windows ME. It was quite usable.

Yeah I named the project after the codename for Windows 2000, arguably the best OS that Microsoft has ever created :)

What? I can't find any codenames for 2000. All I can find is:

> Windows 2000 didn't have a codename "because Jim Allchin didn't like codenames," Thompson says.

Ok I misremembered. It was actually a pre-release of what would become Windows XP.
