This page is created in violation of WP:PTM and disseminates information that are not endorsed by any reliable source, i.e. I am not aware of any source in existence that uses "Windows 5.0" phrase to refer to version five of "Windows CE" or "Windows Mobile".

If the above was true, the solution would have been to add the source to Windows CE 5.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0 articles; only then the disambiguation page could be created. However, so far as the verifiability goes, the only operating system that introduces itself as "Microsoft Windows [Version 5.0.2600]" is Windows 2000.Codename Lisa (talk) 19:30, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. More or less useless.  I don't think it's hurting anything, but it's not really helping, either.  We already redirect this search term to the most likely target.  I don't see much point in noting that other versions of operating systems with the same brand also have comparable version numbers. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:34, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per NRP and WP:PTM. Doesn't seem to be useful at all, really. ansh 666 04:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
