Peter,

One thing that comes to mind is the fact that this is Pocket PC
newsgroup and the one you mention is a Windows CE newsgroup. Many people
think that they are one and the same but in fact, Pocket PC is a "special
flavor" of Windows CE - much like Red Hat is a flavor of Linux. The title
of the other newsgroup also tells me that it is specific to Application
Development where this newsgroup is for anything related to Pocket PC
(Application Development, Driver Development, Network Development, etc.).
Most people who write applications for Windows CE support the Pocket PC
platform so they could ask their question in either newsgroup, but I am
willing to bet this newsgroup receives more traffic than the other one.
