Missing content

Should note that Microsoft does not support (write) the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for the different devices (ARM, MIPS, SH, x86), those are provided by the hardware manufacturers. WinCE is entirely 32-bit and does not run in 16-bit x86 bios boot environment, requiring a loader. I downloaded "Windows Embedded 2011 community preview", not listed here. 67.165.116.17 (talk) 09:19, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Windows 2000 Embedded

Windows 2000 Embedded was very much a thing. I took a photo of a cell tower test device here. I'm not sure how best to integrate this into the page, since there's such a story going on about skipping windows 2000, but it doesn't seem that actually happened.

I'm almost certain this isn't a componentized embedded edition like "Windows NT 4.0 Embedded" or "Windows XP Embedded". Especially since the 2000 version was known to have been cancelled in favor of an XP based version, source: Windows 2000 Embedded cancelled. Notice how this is labeled "Windows 2000 Pro Embedded"? It's very likely the same as "Windows 2000 Professional for Embedded Systems", just an earlier naming scheme that Microsoft used. AFAIK, the "For Embedded Systems" label didn't appear until around the time Windows XP was released.

Here's some other examples I've found that surely belong to the FES subfamily/brand: Windows For Workgroups 3.11 Embedded, Windows 95 Embedded, Windows NT Workstation Embedded, Windows 98 SE Embedded, and Windows ME Embedded. I'll add all these to the article, assuming no one has any objections.

Regarding that YouTube video with "Windows Powered", that ISO is fake/unofficially modified. There was never a unique "Windows Powered" edition/SKU. Installing/integrating the "Microsoft Server Appliance Kit (SAK) 2.0 Add-On Pack" on top of a Windows 2000 Server edition was the only official way to achieve this branding. Source
