Theoretically there should be not practical limit - but I am not an expert on
the subject ;-}.
Practically, in my experience, requests larger than 96M are not respected...

As I understand, M$'s approach is to attempt making the vm an inherent part of
their os, as far as transparency for the user is concerned.
But this is also insecure - do you really want a nasty app running in your vm
to take away all of your memory?
The vm is an abstraction for a machine inside your pc. All machines have a
designated, finite amount of memory available - and it is nice that you can set
it.
