Yeah, Windows Neptune was going to be a home edition version of Windows 2000 based off of the Windows NT code, and not off of Windows 9x, but it was never released. Instead, Windows ME happened, based off of Windows 9x, and had restricted access to real-mode DOS, and also a highly criticized operating system by Microsoft.
That was until 2001, when Microsoft decided to discontinue the Windows 9x series, and when future versions of Windows came out only on Windows NT code on one operating system name, starting with Windows XP. Windows XP Professional, and Windows XP Home Edition, and so on...
This still continues today with Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home...
