However, the plans for "Neptune" and its new UI were put on hold as Microsoft decided to launch Windows Millennium (Windows ME) instead on the consumer side, which again also had MS-DOS. One interesting thing about "Neptune" was that Microsoft had plans to put in a new user interface for the desktop with "Activity Centers" with sections for Photos, Music, Communication and more. "Neptune" was being made to be the first consumer version of Windows that would be based on the NT family, and designed to finally ditch MS-DOS. The consumer side was working on "Neptune", which was supposed to be released after Windows 98. The business side was developing "Odyssey", the code name for the planned successor to Windows 2000. In the late 1990s, the Windows consumer and business/server teams were working on separate operating system projects.
