After going through this video: 

 

 

I noticed there was a version of Windows that was named "Windows Powered". Was this just a code name for Windows 2000 or was it a full-on OS made by Microsoft that nobody used? I can't seem to find info on it anywhere.

No, its just saying that it is a "Windows Powered" machine.  Thus a machine powered by Windows.  This was a thing back in the day.  It was a Windows ME or Windows 2000 based system in beta.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

After watching this video it's pretty amazing to see how many different versions of Windows there are (including Alpha and Beta releases).

There is really only 6 editions of Windows ever made.

This is a beta version of Windows that was released.  I've used this before.  It is just simply a server version of Windows 2000 with minor differences.

Not really true.  Check out BetaArchive to see some of the betas/unreleased versions of Windows.  There are waaay more that 6 versions if you count the many betas that were released, which at least doubles that number.

Quite literally, look at the change log... There is only 6 versions of Windows.  Period.
