I'm pretty sure that's correct. CF relies on a third-party library to
run COM objects, and that library doesn't yet support 64-bit COM
objects.

That said, COM is pretty much dead for new development on Windows, as
far as I can tell. CF includes a third-party library to run .NET
assemblies, which is where the action is nowadays for Windows
development.
