Kutulutsa koyamba koyeserera kwa projekiti ya Neptune OS kwasindikizidwa, ndikupanga chowonjezera ku seL4 microkernel ndikukhazikitsa zigawo za Windows NT kernel, zomwe cholinga chake ndi kupereka chithandizo pakuyendetsa mapulogalamu a Windows. Khodiyo imagawidwa pansi pa layisensi ya GPLv3.
Ntchitoyi imayendetsedwa ndi "NT Executive", imodzi mwa zigawo za Windows NT kernel (NTOSKRNL.EXE), yomwe ili ndi udindo wopereka NT Native system call API ndi mawonekedwe oyendetsa galimoto. Mu Neptune OS, gawo la NT Executive ndi madalaivala onse sathamanga pamlingo wa kernel, koma mu mawonekedwe a machitidwe ogwiritsira ntchito malo ozikidwa pa seL4 microkernel. Kuyanjana kwa gawo la NT Executive ndi madalaivala kumachitika kudzera mu standard seL4 IPC. Kuyimba kwadongosolo komwe kumaperekedwa kumapangitsa kuonetsetsa kuti laibulale ya NTDLL.DLL ikugwira ntchito ndikukhazikitsa mawonekedwe a pulogalamu ya Win32 omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito muzofunsira.
Mtundu woyamba wa Neptune OS umaphatikizapo dalaivala wa kiyibodi (kbdclass.sys), woyendetsa doko wa PS/2 (i8042prt.sys), woyendetsa beep (beep.sys) ndi womasulira mzere wolamula (ntcmd.exe), wotengedwa kuchokera ku ReactOS ndi kulola kusonyeza mfundo zofunika za bungwe la ntchito. Kukula kwa chithunzi cha boot ndi 1.4 MB.
Cholinga chachikulu ndikubweretsa wosanjikiza pamalo okwanira kuti azitha kugwiritsa ntchito malo ogwiritsira ntchito ndi madalaivala a ReactOS. Madivelopa akuganiziranso kuthekera kokwaniritsa kuyanjana kwa binary ndi mafayilo omwe amatha kuchitidwa ndi Windows komanso kuvomerezeka kwa magwero ndi madalaivala a Windows kernel.
Cholepheretsa chachikulu popereka chithandizo kwa madalaivala a Windows ndikugwiritsa ntchito madalaivala ambiri a Windows kernel osati njira yolumikizirana yokhazikika mukamapeza madalaivala ena, koma kusamutsa kwa pointer mwachindunji, komwe sikungachitike mu Neptune OS chifukwa cha madalaivala omwe akuyenda m'njira zosiyanasiyana.
