I monitor some Windows CE newsgroups for a few reasons:

• I learn a lot from others working on Windows CE, so many of you are running into the same issues that I run into.  Sometimes your run into them before I do, other times I have already run into the issue.
• I learn a lot from answering questions.  You might be surprised to find that I don't already know the answer, so I do some investigation to get the answer.  Sometimes I am wrong, or there is a better way, with my answer, and there is always someone to point that out.
• I get satisfaction from helping others out by answering their questions

I monitor the following newsgroups in the msnews.microsoft.com server:

• Microsoft.Public.WindowsCE.App.Development - includes discussions about developing applications for Windows CE.  This is not my area of expertise, but I sometimes have the answer.  I also sometimes find my customers asking questions here.
• Microsoft.Public.WindowsCE.Embedded - this has a wide range of Windows CE questions which include application development as well as driver and bootloader discussions.
• Microsoft.Public.WindowsCE.Embedded.VC - also not my expertise, but this focuses on using C/C++ using eMbedded VC++ and sometimes wanders into Visual Studio.
• Microsoft.Public.WindowsCE.Platbuilder - This newsgroup fits me best as it discusses issues with Platform Builder and development of Windows CE OS images.
• Microsoft.Public.WindowsCE.Targeted.Device - not a very busy newsgroup that discusses issues with specific devices (or at least that seems to be its intent.)  Mostly, this group has posts that would be better in other newsgroups.

 I use Outlook Express to view and answer posts in these groups.  There are certainly other newsgroup browsers available as well as the online forums at Microsoft.com.
