It is important to note that "Platform Builder" is made available as a plug-in for Visual Studio, starting for CE 6.0. However, the catch is Visual Studio would require a service pack (or patch, if you wish).
Visual Studio is used as a standard development tool for developing most of the windows application. Hence when a standard release is made, it has to take care of evolution of so many applications(compilers and other internal build utilities).
Similarly, the major versions of windows are released first and then the corresponding embedded versions. For eg: Windows 7 is released first and then the underlying embedded OS like Windows Embedded Standard 7.
Adding 2 + 2, a service pack is provided for Visual Studio to accommodate platform builder tool, to support development of windows CE based OSs.
