'''''Odyssey''''' was a [[List of Microsoft codenames|codename]] for a version of [[Microsoft Windows]] that was in development from early [[1999]] to early [[2000]]. The goal of ''Odyssey'' was to develop a successor to the [[Windows NT|NT]]-based [[Windows 2000]] that was developed for business users. The same codebase, NT 6.0,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.winsupersite.com/faq/2000_old.asp |title=Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Windows 2000 FAQ |accessdate=2008-03-13 |last=Thurrott |first=Paul |work=Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows |publisher=WindowsITPro |quote="Odyssey" is the code-name for the next major version of Windows 2000, which would have been called Windows NT 6.0 had Microsoft not messed with the naming in late 1998.}}</ref> was going to be used in creating [[Windows Neptune]], the "home" counterpart to ''Odyssey''. The version number "NT 6.0", but not the name, was later recycled for Microsoft's [[Windows Vista]] operating system. There were some publicly leaked builds of ''Neptune'' but Odyssey was never leaked. However, after the release of Windows 2000, the ''Neptune'' and ''Odyssey'' teams were combined with the Windows 2000 team to work on the ''Whistler'' project that was released in late [[2001]] as [[Windows XP]]. |
