An updated version of Windows 2000 was also initially planned for the business market.
It was released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001, and later to retail on October 25, 2001.ĭevelopment of Windows XP began in the late 1990s under the codename " Neptune", built on the Windows NT kernel explicitly intended for mainstream consumer use.
