Is Apache/PPC-6700 w/WM6 "WM6" for Visual Studio build target purposes?

This might be an idiotic question, but is an Apache/6700 that's been reflashed to "WM6" with the ROM kitchen a "real" WM6 device that's capable of handling anything Visual Studio 2005 w/WM6 Pro SDK can throw at it (like, presumably, a Mogul/6800 is)? Or is its "WM6-ness" kind of a fragile facade that's prone to crack and fall off in big metaphorical chunks if you get a little "too aggressive" about taking advantage of "new to WM6" features for things like Bluetooth and WiFi?

Put another way, if something (like directly grabbing the compressed audio stream from a bluetooth headset's mic) using the native wm6 libraries would theoretically work on a Mogul/6800, should it theoretically work on a kitchen-reflashed Apache/6700 as well? Or (as I've seen alluded by some people), is "WM6" on an Apache/6700 really more of a UI & application facelift perched on top of driver binaries that will crash, burn, and go down in flames if you try to get them to do anything that WM5 didn't support?

While people like Helmi will no doubt be able to provide you the 'real' answer, I can tell you what I've experienced. Take a look at message #7 in another of my threads:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=12637.

While I haven't gotten very far yet, given that the kitchen supports/includes the .Net framework (v2 & v3.5, I believe), I'm expecting to be able to accomplish interesting things - assuming I can find the time.

Hope this helps !
