That's not the problem.  WinCE, while based on Win2000's kernel, doesn't have 
all the Win32 API that Win9x and 2k have.  The API is much smaller; although 
it is possible to write code that works on both.

Being predominantly a Linux user, I agree 100%.  I do, however, have a 
PocketPC (2000) PDA (Symbol PPT2700), and am doing some software development 
for it.  I _really_ don't like Win32's API! (once having tasted Qt).
