Processes map into different virtual addresses. For a driver to access the memory of another process, it must be able to unlock the permissions for those address spaces.
There have been significant changes made to Memory Access Permissions in Windows Embedded CE 6.0. For more information, see Migrating a Windows Embedded CE Driver to Windows Embedded CE 6.0. In Windows CE 5.0 and earlier, any process could look into the memory of any other process. In CE 6.0, all access must be controlled through a set of APIs.
