[T]he design was to use more memory on purpose to speed things up, but never unbounded — we requset [sic] the available memory and operate within that leaving at least 50M of physical memory.
This is what happens, right? So I don't see how the article is wrong. I also don't see how this is a problem for anyone.
"When recovering your disk from catastrophic failure, Windows uses extra memory to make the recovery go as quickly as possible." OH NOES!!!11!!
