ARM calling conventions on WinCE and Linux?

Do WinCE and Linux use the same calling convention on ARM? What are the differences? The documents I've found so far do not explain very well. For example on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms864497.aspx, it says "Windows CE .NET Compiler" on one line, but "the ARM compiler" on the next line, and "CLARM" at the bottom, and it's ...

How to safely remove a USB drive on Windows CE 5.0?

Until today, I assumed that Windows CE was writing everything to disk and I wouldn't end up with a broken FAT16 when I removed the USB stick. Today, I was proven wrong.

RegQueryValueExW only brings back one value from registry

I am querying the registry on Windows CE. I want to pull back the DhcpDNS value from the TcpIp area of the registry, which works.
