I don't think it should have its own heading. It is not significantly different enough (just Windows XP + drivers and a few programs) to warrant its own entry in the template. Not to mention that its name is so wordy that it skews the size of the template.—Kbolino 01:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Windows 95, 98, and Me did require DOS to run (it was used for bootstrapping, low-level IO, and a few other things--see msg above)—they just shipped with their own versions of DOS (you didn't have to have it separately). Windows 95 is a big change from 3.1, but it did not divorce MS-DOS.—Kbolino 03:59, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the section labelled "cancelled" from the template. Cancelled implies that Microsoft intended to release it as a product. The only entry there "Neptune" only has outside speculation based on a leaked technology demo that Microsoft had such intentions. Microsoft shows technology demos and mockup products constantly without intending them as products. SchmuckyTheCat 16:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm not sure why this template's metadata needs removing to this separate page, nor whether or not it's a good idea. Why not simply keep it underneath the {{Documentation, template|Template:Microsoft/doc}} call? Sardanaphalus (talk) 13:27, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right. So. Windows 1.0 through 3.x all needed a DOS-like operating system to start them. 9x didn't need a separate product to boot, but essentially included a version of MS-DOS built-in. (It even self-identified as "MS-DOS 7.0".) There's been various spins on that. In an effort to address this, I've split the two up into "Separate DOS" and "Win 9x sub-family". The later is a little cumbersome but I'm hoping it dodges the debate. Anyway, I thought it deserved a little more explanation.

Just wondering, exactly what constitutes an 'early version' of Windows NT?120.152.104.76 (talk) 09:15, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, everyone
Recently, there had been a geeky makeover on the template which only had made navigation more difficult for normal users and bombarded them with irrelevant links and big vague words like business-centric, 32-bit, etc. (I yet have to go through logs to see who did these and alert him or her to participate in this discussion...)
Wikipedia is neither a place for publishing original thoughts nor a place for prioritizing personal preferences over that of the others. A navbox is meant to make navigation between related articles easier for users, not to show your opinion of how you like to categorize release of Windows; not even a place to show how Microsoft likes to categorize releases of Windows! Although I do admit that ease of navigation is somewhat related to logical categorization of the software releases, use of irrelevant and vague words like "business-centric" and "16/32-bit", which only politicians use, is unwarranted.
Now, I had a similar discussion with another dear Wikipedian (DragonHawk perhaps?) over the same issue in this talk page, but I dropped it since the issue was small. But a show of geekiness in this great magnitude is really nothing tolerable for normal users. Fleet Command (talk) 07:37, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
We can either have a single level of grouping, or we can have multiple levels (nested). I find the single level of grouping more aesthetically pleasing, but I think the nested groupings for NT aid navigation. NT, being the current and biggest product line, has the most articles, so I think it makes sense that it would need some kind of structure. Lacking any other ideas, I would favor the nested groups, because the purpose of the template is navigation. Function over form. • Is there another way? Can we perhaps create a horizontal title bar within this template to group the NT stuff under it vertically? (Having trouble articulating what I'm thinking of here.) —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 12:48, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the inclusion of "16-bit" vs "32-bit" as appropriate for this template, nor do I find the proposed categorizations particularity accurate or useful. • The terms "16-bit" and "32-bit" are not well defined; they get used to mean a lot of different things (address space, word size, bus width, processor mode, etc.). Microsoft's own usage tends to be more about identifying API revisions (see Win32) • Win 3.x had flavors which could run in i386 protected mode ("32-bit"), so calling the DOS-based Win 3.x "16-bit" isn't accurate. Likewise, Win9x still depended heavily on 16-bit MS-DOS code to boot and provide other essential system functions. • Most importantly, I don't see this as aiding navigation. This is a navigation template -- specifically to navigate different topics in the Windows family. Linking articles about processor architecture seem like a digression. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 12:48, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi.
We have a problem: "DOS-based" does not make any sense. Please suggest a good replacement. A good replacement is one that immediately makes sense for average Joes or one that when the reader clicks on, he can have additional info.

I suggest Windows RT to be a independent section is because RT share some code base with other Windows 8 versions, and some notable differences. And can't use x64 software like CE.

So, Windows XP went EOL on April 8th, 2014 and users are thinking it makes it an early release. However, EOL is not counted in this template, but users do it anyway.
What makes something like, Win2k, an early NT version is that both the server and client versions share the name Windows 2k (or NT 4 for NT 4 and it goes on and on and on)
I think it would be a good idea to put a notice above the template saying EOL does not make XP an early NT version to stop users from doing this. 75.71.219.35 (talk) 20:28, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Windows XP went EOL on April 8th, 2014 and users are thinking it makes it an early release." - I'm sorry, but this is complete hogwash. In fact, last of what should arguably be considered an "early version" of NT is NT 4. Even Windows 2000 should be represented in both the client and server branches as "Windows 2000 Professional" and "Windows 2000 Server" respectively. It really makes no sense whatsoever to say NT 5.0 is an "early version" while NT 5.1 or NT 5.2 is not. It is also a joke to suggest that Vista supposedly was the first "proper" client NT version. Anyone who tries to shove NT 5.x systems in to the "early version" category just because they are now 10+ years old is a fool (what's next, saying that NT 6.x (Vista/7/8.x) are "early versions" too, once they go EOL?). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.66.239.49 (talk) 12:38, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Let me first make a comparison with corresponding Wikipedia articles and historical divisions of this same template, earlier Windows Mobile, Windows CE, and Windows Phone all were a part of the "Windows C.E." group of Windows Operating Systems, no article regarding Windows Mobile state that it's "a release of the Windows CE operating system", while the Windows 10 for phones and small tablets article constantly shows "a release of the Windows Phone operating system" I shall not argue that it's not a release of Windows Phone and the article rightfully states that it's the successor to Windows Phone 8.1, and the article has Windows Phone written ¡¡¡ALL OVER IT!!! something which I honestly do agree with, but my protests are at the fact that it is constantly treated as a release of Windows Phone, Windows 10 for (smart)phones and small tablets is comparable to Windows R.T. in the fact that it only runs WinRT applications and no Win32 while Windows R.T. is still shown as an edition of Windows 8, the Windows Phone 7.X Series are Windows C.E.-based while Windows Phone 8.X are Windows N.T. based so factually they could just as well fall under "Windows N.T.", but they rightfully don't because Windows Phone is a brand, Windows Phone 7.X and Windows Phone 8.X differ a lot but they are still considered a part of the same family of products because of branding, so this template justfully places them in the same group, my argument against placing Windows 10 for (smart)phones and small tablet-P.C.'s in this category is because it's more comparable to Windows R.T. as an "edition" of Windows 10 rather than another release of Windows Phone, Microsoft itself has confirmed that they have abolished the Windows Phone brand and replaced it with the general Windows Brand, the Wikipedia article of Windows R.T. itself states that it's more comparable with Google Android and iOS than Windows 8.X itself because it's only used for Tablet-P.C.'s and can't run Win32 applications, this same difference exists between Windows 10 for larger screens and Windows 10 for smaller screens.
Another complaint is also with the page's editor that for some reason simply moves it when someone else places this template on top of the article, but has to "undo" any revisions I did, that aside Windows Phone is a brand, not an operating system, if application compatibility were a standard for an operating system OS/2 should make this list too (which it shouldn't), so my argument is either wait for Microsoft to actually release more details on the operating system, or keep it as a an edition of Windows 10. No information about the software, the S.D.K. and the internals of the operating system have been released, the entire article is purely based on a presentation by Microsoft and some additional limited information that ironically all say the contrary of the content of the article (stating that it's a release of Windows 10 rather than just "Windows Phone 10" an actual phrase even used in the article, and why it wasn't branded as such).
Devil's Advocate (these are some arguments against the ones I've made above):
Windows 10 for Mobile Devices can still be considered a part of the Windows Phone family of operating systems as Pocket P.C.'s that aren't branded as "Windows Mobile" are included in the Windows Mobile peer-group, and since all Windows Phones (based on the Windows N.T. kernel) can upgrade to Windows 10 for mobile devices, furthermore the differences between Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 for Mobile Devices are merely superficial, though internal changes could be large, Microsoft hasn't announced anything concerning it so Wikipedia is best to assume it to be just another variation of Windows Phone rather than be a new operating system by itself.
Well there are arguments for both sides and I'm sure someone can think of more for it to be a release of Windows Phone over Windows, but until Microsoft clears up some smoke for us this template, the page, and all corresponding articles will be in a constant edit war, I've already distanced myself from editing it as the information we've been provided is too limited to work for clear conclusions, but the question if this article should be included in either Windows Phone or Windows 10 is purely a question of branding and how Wikipedia stands on the branding, just like how devices made by Ericsson are now part of the Sony template that doesn't mention Ericsson, this question is one purely of branding, on the internet there are hundreds of news sites that refer to it as "Windows Phone 10", while there are many others that simply call it "Windows 10", and there are reasons that validate both, and it's purely a stance we can make, Wikipedia should be neutral so I'd say that either party is right in their own way, but we can't do it both ways, I can suggest how we should make it a between-brackets version of Windows 10 "Windows 10 (Mobile Version)", while others would suggest that we'd go Windows Phone -> Windows 10 for Mobile, so we won't come to conclusions unless we'll have an open discussion about the guidelines we'll use in editing these articles, the differences between Windows 7, Vista, or even XP and Windows Phone 8.1 are smaller than those between Windows 95 and Windows XP, Etc. between the previous share the same kernel, but one could argue because of app compatibility that the differences between Windows 95 and XP are non-existent, while it's a world of difference from Windows Phone 8.1, I won't edit it as my edits will clash with another editor, and while I don't edit someone with the same opinions regarding these articles made the same edits I did and then the same editor from earlier made the same changes, this edit war is useless until Microsoft will announce more about Windows 10 for (smart)phones and small tablet-P.C.'s itself. Honestly I'd even want to see the Windows 10 pages merged, but I can see why others would protest it, personally I vote for branding over operating system so I'd say that Windows 10 for Mobile Devices is a member of the Microsoft Windows Family of operating systems rather than Windows Phone, if the admins of this template could give me any reasons why this is wrong/right please do so. --86.81.201.94 (talk) 19:38, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In Talk:Windows 10 (mobile) most users have agreed that Windows 10 (mobile) is Windows and in Windows RT Windows 10 (mobile) is referenced as succeeding Windows Phone not as a part of it. Regardless of what FleetCommand or Codename Lisa and other "damned edit warriors" have to say as they're the ones who want to revert edits based on consensus, and if mobile devices are clients then it would make no sense to exclude smartphones unless this is just based on their personal views, next time you'll send an official warning try to be on the good side of the argument. --Lumia930uploader (talk) 15:57, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For some time consensus about Windows 10 Mobile has been reached and that it should be listed under editions, but the childish behavior of some editors simply makes regular conversation impossible, in reaction to one of these reversions an editor wrote "== Try to remain civil ==

− WP:CIVIL in case you were wondering, and the other editor claimed that mobile devices were clients yet excluded Windows 10 mobile from the same reasoning, also the other editor didn't take it to the talk page nor in their reverts to explain the difference and the Windows 10 mobile article itself mentions it as a successor to Windows RT so you're either just being uncivil and picking a side, or you lack neutrality and shouldn't be here and you're the one who needs to be warned. --Lumia930uploader (talk) 12:14, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
" on a user talk page, as this is basically my argument I will leave this here other arguments I have against placing the Windows 10 Mobile article among Windows Phone is that Microsoft has announced it to be an edition of Windows 10, and that its also listed among Windows 10 editions, meanwhile the only counter argument provided by the "main editors" of this page is that Windows 10 Mobile succeeds Windows Phone 8.1 thus is a Windows Phone, and they can never break the three revert rule as they constantly keep backing each other up, despite consensus having been reached on the talk page of Windows 10 Mobile. --LyThienDao1984 (talk) 01:40, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In the near past Microsoft used to market/sell its products in a Target Market -> Product -> Version fashion.
Examples:
Desktop -> Windows -> Windows 7
Server -> Windows Server -> Windows Server 2008
Mobile telephones -> Windows Phone -> Windows Phone 7
Small consumer devices -> Embedded Compact -> Embedded Compact 7
Industry devices -> Embedded Industry -> POSReady 7
Cars -> Embedded Automotive -> Embedded Automotive 7
But now, the new trend for the Embedded part seems to be the fusion under a single brand. Specifically, Product -> Target Market is the new way.
(For the desktop, the server and the mobile telephones, everything seems unchanged, by the way.)
This is how it works from my POV:
Windows Embedded 8 Standard has superseded Windows Embedded Compact 2013. I wonder if 8.1 Standard will not be released because Windows 10 has their attention now.
Windows Embedded 8.1 Pro and Industry superseded Windows Embedded Industry. I do not know if Standard, Pro and/or Industry can fill in the gap left by Windows Embedded Automotive, too. If someone can add some information about it, I would be more than glad.
Besides, consider that Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld is a bridge between Windows Phone 10 and the Windows Embedded 8.1 products.
So, as you can realize, EVERYTHING for small/embedded/etc. devices was agglutinated under Windows Embedded 8/8.1 umbrella.
Later, Windows 10 IoT also shown up.
I wonder if we will see Embedded 10 or, if Windows 10 IoT will be all what we'll get.
Obviously, all THIS UNSTABLE STATE OF THINGS REGARDING THE EMBEDDED/IOT scene is MESSING with THIS BEAUTIFUL TEMPLATE.
Surely it'd be a great idea to make 2 templates: one that covers the previous trend (say until about 2009?) and another one for the current way. The problem is that, as long as Microsoft keeps both ways to market its products, there is no way to completely improve/split this template.
The other option is to unify everything under "embedded".
To split or to unify, that is the question.
What do you all think about this issue?

This "early versions" label has become troublesome lately. It is subjective, so people don't understand what is its qualification criterion. I've removed it for now, because ... well, how many forth and back reverts are needed for us to realize it is contentious?

Why is there a 2012 logo in a template covering 30 years of software history? We all know perfectly well that other logos have been used far longer.
