Some people theorize that Microsoft is doing this as a security issue because some (badly-written) DOS programs can consume all available memory because they were written long ago (e.g. when 16 or 32 MB or less was the norm). If they implement it in more than one OS, don't you think they know about it by now?? And if it's not an accident, they probably won't fix it. (Bleh.)
