I dun think this is the case, Windows too caches pages and u can conduct
various experiments to check that. What I doubt is the reading that
taskmanager shows ..may b it only show the app in use and not the cached
pages, while linux does show the actual state of the memory .. Any body
got any ideas on this one !!

the reason is that linux has better memory caching than windows. When u
start the same app again on linux it would load up from the cache and
take less time to load. This is not the case with windows.
