The memory management differs quite drastically between NT technology-based
Windows versions (XP, 2000, & NT) and non-NT based versions (9x & ME).
Windows NT-based systems are more like UNIX where each application runs in a
separate memory space, while non-Windows NT-based system use a shared memory
space. The separate memory space model allows the operating system to
reclaim all of an application's allocated resources when it terminates,
while the shared model doesn't.
OK, that's all good in a perfect world, but as some of you may have noticed,
resources tend to get lost after some applications terminate (mainly
abnormally). And even though the O/S is meant to clean up, some resources
just never seem to be returned to the common pool. Maybe it's because (for
some reason) some ghost threads still remain?

Win 95 doesn't but in my experience NT and 2000 do. 2000 is better than
NT.
