Mars was a Windows component that powered the so-called Activity Centres - an experimental, task-centred UI tested in early builds of Windows ME (2000) & Codename Neptune (cancelled). Whilst the Activity Centres were scrapped, Mars lived on to power ME’s Help & Support app. ;-)

The Start Page was a full-screen UI tested in various builds of Windows ME, Codename Neptune (scrapped) & XP in 1999-2000. Designed to overlay the desktop, it was ultimately scrapped. A similar idea appeared in Windows 8 (2012) as the Start screen. More @ youtu.be/3W14s-4-hJ4!
