I don't think it matters much; the VM size is not critical. You could
diverge on linux/windows on this field (but you'll have to get the help text
mopped up to describe whatever is displayed)

Hard to say! But it does seem like an analysis of memory without being able
to see some amount of VM information is incomplete.
