They do, however, fall under the "embedded operating systems" category - where these operating systems are used to power pocket PC's smartphones and the like.
According to web researches, Windows CE is actually the "background operating system" that provides essential services for a device, such as file systems, connectivity and so forth. Normally, these are dealt with by a kernel. A kernel is a central part of an operating system that manages communication between programs and computer hardware. Whereas CE is the foundation OS (operating system), Windows Mobile is the interface - that is, the graphics and elements that are used to display information to a user. Since Windows Mobile display information on behalf of CE kernel, WM runs on top of CE.
