It is same.

Yes, WinCE supports composite USB device drivers. In fact WinCE 6.0 supports
but not its previous versions.

Donno. Sorry.

What do you mean by this? The USB driver model in CE is radically
different from XP. There is no plug-and-play as we know it, and there
are no INF files.

The CE driver model is actually much simpler. CE drivers can be fun,
because the line between kernel and user is much fuzzier. Fortunately,
there are good samples in Platform Builder.
