I actually read that Windows reserves a lot of memory that it's not actively
using (perhaps another reason why it needs more memory to begin with) and
that it's caching system is not as hot as Linux's. Apparently Windows
resorts to the hard disk more than Linux.
I found a lot of articles and/or forum entries to that respect when googling
around.
Being a layman, when surfing the net it's hard to differentiate between
well-founded truths and urban myth hogwash.
