Don't read anything on desktop versions of windows, they are different from
CE and will just cause confusion.

Kernel mode and User mode refer to the address map access rights/privileges
of running code. In CE, modules running in kernel mode have access to all
kernel memory, while modules running in User mode can only access their own
memory. Normally, only the kernel itself has access to kernel memory,
although the system can be setup so that all processes run in kernel mode.
There are also APIs to transition a user mode application into and out of
kernel mode, if it needs the access for some reason.
